ABSTRACT
Stern AW, Unidentified microfilariae in the blood of a western
grey kangaroo, Macropus fuliginosus,
Onl J Vet Res 13(2):19-21, 2009. Unidentified microfilariae were detected in a blood sample

although striking differences in length and distance of the terminal nucleus to
the tail tip were observed.
