“…The histopathology results are similar to others described by Amin et al [ 13 ] of Moniliformis saudi Amin, Heckmann, Mohammed, Evans, 2016 (Moniliformidae) in Paraechinus aethiopicus (Ehrenberg) [ 13 ] from Saudi Arabia and of Centrorhynchus globirostris Amin, Heckmann, Wilson, Keele, Khan, 2015 (Centrorhynchidae) in Centropus sinensis (Stephens) from Pakistan [ 39 ] as well as those of Pomphorhynchus kashmirensis Kaw, 1941 (Pomphorhynchidae) in Schizothorax plagiostomus Heckel [ 12 ] from Kashmir. Gonzales-Viera et al [ 32 ] provided the only other histopathological study of P. altmani in another definitive host species, the gray gull, Leucophaeus modestus (Tschudi) from the Peruvian coast. Their sections were different from ours focusing on the attachment sites featuring proboscis invasion of the villi with adjacent central necrosis, inflammatory infiltrates, hyperplasia, granuloma in the submucosa, and peripheral dense fibrous and vascularized connective tissue.…”
