Quantitative assessment of spicule length in Heligmosomoides spp. (Nematoda, Heligmosomidae): distinction between H. bakeri, H. polygyrus and H. glareoli

Nematode spicules play a vital role in the reproductive activity of species that possess them. Our primary objective was to compare the lengths of spicules of the laboratory mouse (Mus musculus) – maintained isolate H. bakeri – with those of H. polygyrus from naturally infected wood mice (Apodemus s...
