Fine-structure alterations in femaleBrugia malayi andLitomosoides carinii after in vivo treatment with flubendazole
TLDR
The early fine-structure alterations observed after in vivo treatment with flubendazole consisted of the disappearance of microtubuli from various tissues, which led to the interruption of cell division in oogonia and embryonic cells and, subsequently, to the disintegration of most other filarial tissues.

TLDR
The comparison of the worms from Liberia, Upper Volta, Tanzania and Guatemala revealed no morphological differences and groups of males were examined statistically for differences of the distribution of the posterior papillae, but no geographical differences could be proven.

Electron-microscopic observations on the female worms of six Onchocerca species from cattle and red deer
TLDR
The comparative study showed that O. gibsoni and O. volvulus have many derived morphological characteristics in common and that in the other species more primitive stages of development of these morphological marks can be observed.
