title: Generic sample from Onchocerca flexuosa
organism: Onchocerca flexuosa
description: Adult O. flexuosa worms were collected from red deer (Cervus elaphus) in northern Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) during community hunts in late fall. Freshly shot deer were screened for subcutaneous O. flexuosa nodules. O. flexuosa and O. jakutensis (a Wolbachia positive species) nodules were differentiated by morphology [12]. Most deer were not infected with O. jakutensis. Mixed species nodules were not observed.
