O. gibsoni is redescribed; the hypoderma and the musculature of the female body are studied on transversal sections and compared to several other species of Onchocerca. These structures and the general morphology show the autonomy of a small line of asiatic and african Onchocerca of Bovines (O. gibsoni, O. dukei, O. ochengi and, probably, the other nodular Onchocerca of Bovinae), to which the human parasite, O. volvulus, belongs. The presence of O. gibsoni in Africa is doubtful.
重新描述了吉氏盘尾丝虫;在横切面上研究了雌虫身体的皮下组织和肌肉组织,并与盘尾丝虫属的其他几种进行了比较。这些结构和总体形态表明,牛的亚洲和非洲小型盘尾丝虫系(吉氏盘尾丝虫、杜克盘尾丝虫、奥氏盘尾丝虫,可能还有牛亚科的其他结节状盘尾丝虫)具有自主性,人类寄生虫旋盘尾丝虫也属于该系。吉氏盘尾丝虫在非洲是否存在尚不确定。
