Light micrographs of Pelecitus sp. nematode isolated from the left eye of a 61-year-old man in Thailand. A) Curled female, 3.5 mm in length and 198 µm in width. Head (arrow) and tail (arrowhead) are indicated. Scale bar = 250 μm. B) Rounded anterior extremity with preesophageal cuticular ring (arrows). Scale bar = 10 μm. C) Postdeirid (arrowhead) at the posterior left side and lateral alae (arrows) at the posterior part. Scale bar = 50 μm. D) Rounded posterior extremity (arrowhead). Scale bar = 100 μm.
