“…In addition, fixation can alter the length of larvae and the lifecycle point at which adult females are removed from hosts can cause variation in maturity of larvae (e.g., in this current study, worms were removed from captive otters or trapped animals, so worms were not emerging). Finally, otters can be infected with other subcutaneous parasites (e.g., Dirofilaria lutrae and Spirometra ), so careful examination is needed to ensure accurate identification ( Swanepoel et al, 2018 ; Yabsley, unpublished).…”

“…For instance, recent studies focused on North American Onchocerca species have revealed various cryptic genetic lineages (223-227). Addressing this need may be important for identifying filarioid species in the future domestic animal and zoonotic cases (207,(228)(229)(230)(231)(232)(233)(234) or revisiting archival materials in museum collections that contain formalin-fixed tissues attributed to filarioid nematodes but that have not been unequivocally assigned to species. Serological surveillance for determining exposure or molecular screening for active infection by filarioids in human populations has not yet been examined in the US and represents a major knowledge gap (143).…”
