Association of microorganisms with the epithelium in the alimentary tract of Aspicularis tetraptera.
Parasitic nematode worms (Aspicularis tetraptera) were observed microscopically in histological sections of the colons of C57BL/6StCrl female mice. These nematodes have gram-positive bacteria intimately associated with the mucosal epithelium in their alimentary tract.
