Abstract

We isolated 7 oriental eye worms, Thelazia callipaeda, from right eye of a military dog that had been reared in the military base of Namyangiu-Gun, Kyungki province in May, 1999. Some of them were observed with light microscope after fixation and mounting with lactophenol, the others with scanning electron microscope after fixation with glutaraldehyde. As the result, the morphological differences of head part of females and males, tail part of females and males, cuticular characteristics of the surface and location of vaginal opening, we identified of these worms with T. callipaeda.

저자들은 1999년 5월에 경기도 남양주군 군부대에서 사육하고 있는 한 마리의 군견 오른쪽 안부 위에서 7마리 (암놈 4마리, 수놈 3마리)의 동양안충을 검출하였다. 이 중 일부는 고정과 lactophenol 액으로 봉입한 후 광학현미경으로 관찰하였으며 일부는 glutaraldehyde액 에 고정하여 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 충체의 암놈 및 수놈의 두부와 꼬리부위의 형태 특징 그리고 충체 표피의 각질, 암놈 음문의 위치 등을 관찰한 결과 동양안충으로 동정하였다.
