Abstract

A parasitic granuloma containing encysted secondary larvae and migrating infective nymphs of Linguatula serrata Parasite were obser ved in the mesentric lymph nodes in one out of six Egyptian goats purchased from Giza Governorate. The foreign body giant cells in the pentastomid granuloma observed in serial sections are differential pathognomic feature from other granulomas. The migrating infective nymphs caused mainly tissue histolysis. Linguatula serrata, encountered in the present study, is recorded from Egypt for the first time. Extensions of this work to find out the infection among the final carnivorous host is highly recommended. Besides, this study might throw further light on the ecology of more serious zoonotic disease potentially transmissible to man.
