Dr. Broughton’s Mystery Photo- Summer 2022

Although Dr. Broughton left last spring to join the faculty at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, he sent me two last photos from his NDSU VDL collection to share.

This image is from the abdomen of a 24-year-old horse. Within the abdominal cavity is a free-standing parasitic worm.
What is this parasitic worm and how is it transmitted?
