Ocular infection of donkeys (Equus asinus) with Setaria equina
Abstract
Seven donkeys raised in different locations in Egypt were found to have a unilateral eye showing motile white worms in the aqueous humor. The parasites were surgically removed from the anterior chamber of the eye in five out of the seven donkeys, and were cleared, mounted and identified as Setaria equina based on light microscopic features. The ocular infection with S. equina reported herein may be the first reported aberrant cases in the Egyptian animals.

Studies on neglected filaroid parasites in Egyptian provinces remain scant and outdated.
“Studies on neglected filaroid parasites (i.e., Setaria equina, Onchocerca cervicalis, Onchocerca reticulata and Parafilaria multipapillosa) remain scant and outdated from many Egyptian provinces [7,12,26,27,28,29,30,31,32].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
