Abstract

Out of 152 Egyptian swallows, Hirundo saviginii, 24 were found infected by the nematode Diplotriaena obtusa Henry and Ozoux (1909). The worms were collected from the body cavity of the host. Male and female worms were described by light and scanning electron microscopes as a first record of this nematode from Egypt. The specific characteristics of the nematode were defined, including; anterior and posterior extremities, cuticular surface of the body.
