dpi: days post-infection; hpi: hours post-infection.

histo: the abdominal musculature and nasal mucosa of these hosts were used for histological sections and worms were recorded from these.

worms recovered from grossly lacerated wall: normal text; finely dissected wall: bold; abdominal cavity: italics.

nd: not determined.
