Abstract EN
The surface ultrastructure (SEM) of adult worms and eggs of the equine caecal fluke, Gastodiscus aegyptiacus, together with some pathological observations of the caecum and colon of infected horses were studied.
SEM showed that G.
aegyptiacus had a disc-like body with anterior cone-like part.
The oral sucker was surrounded by numerous dome-shaped papillae.
The cone-like part possessed tuberclelike papillae at its anterior third.
The large ventral sucker was subterminal with small papillae at its rim.
The ventral surface was covered with large cauliflower-like papillae.
Microvilli were densely arranged on the egg shell surface.
The pathological changes were proved by severe haemorrhagic colitis.
