Linguatula serrata, the so-called tongue worm, is a worm-like, bloodsucking parasite belonging to the Pentastomida group. The cuticular rings and the spicules at the posterior margins of the cuticle rings are also characteristic for this parasite (14). The cuticle showed 94 rings and conspicuous spicules (Figure 1, panel D). Infections with L. serrata tongue worms are rare in Europe.

Human linguatulosis caused by Linguatula serrata in the city of Kerman, South-eastern Iran: case report. a wetland area that may be permanently or intermittently covered in water, often dominated by woody vegetation. In fact, at least 1 morphologic feature might support this position: typical Porocephalida, such as those in the genus Armillifer, have their hooks horizontally lined up, whereas the hooks of cephalobaenids are pairwise obliquely arranged, as in those in the genus Linguatula (14). The body is covered with about 70-100 annuli, or rings, with many pores and spines on each annulus arranged in rows. There was not any conflict of interests by all authors. Eggs survive well in aqueous environments, such as water or wet vegetation, where they are ingested. To date only 5 other 18S rDNA sequences of pentastomids are available, and the sequence of P. crotali is incomplete, limiting the basis for cluster analysis to only 1,560 aligned sites. Dogs are the typical final hosts of L. serrata tongue worms, and children generally tend to have carefree contact with pet animals. Unfortunately, neither dog could be investigated for potential infection. The disease is caused by worm-like parasites which share some morphologic features of arthropods and annelids. 3113).
