On the Morphology of Ollulanus tricuspis Leuckart, 1865, a Nematode Parasite of the Cat

Abstract

In 1865 Leuckart described from the Cat, in Germany, a very minute Strongyle worm which he called Ollulanus tricuspis. This worm which was recorded from Britain by Cobbold (1873) and Stirling (1877), but was not properly described or figured, has occurred recently in some cats examined by the writer.
