Nematodes within the dermis of a Rothschild's giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi), suffering from giraffe skin disease. H&E. (A) Two cross sections of nematode and a longitudinal section with visible embryos in the reproductive tract. Parasites are located in outer root sheath of the hair follicle and are accompanied by mild to moderate eosinophilic to granulomatous furunculosis. (B) Cross sections of adult nematodes at the dermal-epidermal junction of a hair follicle with associated inflammation.
