Morphological features of Thelazia gulosa (a, b), Thelazia rhodesi (c, d) and Thelazia skrjabini (e, f) females. a Tail of a T. gulosa female, with the anal pore encircled (Ao). b Proximal end of a T. gulosa female, with the genital pore (Vlv) and uterus (U) highlighted. c Tail of a T. rhodesi female, with measurements of tail width (TW), tail length (TL), striation size (Str). d Proximal end of a T. rhodesi female, with measurements including anterior width (AntW, halfway between the esophageal-intestinal junction and proximal buccal capsule), width of the esophagus at the junction with the intestine (EsoJ), maximum width of the esophagus (EsoM), anterior width of the esophagus (EsoA, the location of the measurement being the halfway point between the anterior width and the proximal width of the buccal capsule), total striation length (TStL, the distance is divided by the number of striations present) and the anterior nerve ring distance (ANR, the distance between the halfway point of the nerve ring and the proximal end of the esophagus) and the distance between the genital pore (Vlv) and the proximal width of the buccal capsule (VlvD). e Tail of a T. skrjabini with measurements of TW, TL and anal pore length (APL). f Proximal end of a T. skrjabini female with measurements of VlvD
