Infection with is rare in Iraq since it has been recorded only twice by Ministry of Health. In the current study, the morphology of the parasite is evaluated to explain the basic structure of the parasite parasitizing a human body in Iraq, including the adult worm and the egg stage which is considered the diagnostic stage for the detection of the intestinal parasite in the stool sample. The assessment of the adult worm showed that it was white in color and had a pseudo-segmented shape, lacked the digestive system or alimentary canal, and was 133 mm in length. The anterior end bore the cylindrical-shaped proboscis armed with 13 rows of hooks, each with 7-8 hooks and measured 0.42 × 0.21 mm. The egg was oval-shaped, covered with three envelops, contained hooks, and was 0.083 to 0.116 mm in length. The current study was performed on a single specimen that was revealed to be female during the examination.
在伊拉克,感染这种寄生虫的情况很罕见,因为卫生部仅记录过两例。在当前的研究中,对该寄生虫的形态进行了评估,以解释在伊拉克寄生于人体的这种寄生虫的基本结构,包括成虫和虫卵阶段,虫卵阶段被认为是在粪便样本中检测肠道寄生虫的诊断阶段。对成虫的评估显示,它呈白色,具有假分节的形状,没有消化系统或消化道,长度为133毫米。前端有圆柱形的吻,吻上有13排钩子,每排有7 - 8个钩子,尺寸为0.42×0.21毫米。虫卵呈椭圆形,有三层包膜,有钩子,长度为0.083至0.116毫米。当前的研究是针对一个在检查中被发现为雌性的单一标本进行的。
