Microscopic appearances of Onchocercidae sp. detected in Chabos (Japanese Bantams) and a Hy-line Brown layer. (A) Histological section of a microfilaria in a small pulmonary vein of a Chabo. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. Scale bar = 10 µm. (B) Microfilaria in the myocardium of a Hy-Line Brown layer. H&E. Scale bar = 10 µm. (C) Adult worms in a right ventricle of a Chabo. Arrowheads indicate the endocardium. The inset presents the adult worm marked with the asterisk, where many microfilariae were observed. H&E. Scale bar = 50 µm. (D) Microfilaria retrieved from a blood sample of a Chabo. Methylene blue stain. Scale bar = 10 µm.
