A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is an important tool for the detailed study of morphological characters of Ascaris lumbricoides (Nematoda) parasitizing the orangutan (Pongo abelii) in Indonesia.
Original language description
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques are used for research of selected surface structures in several taxa of parasites. The SEM methodology was found to be necessary in the taxonomy of nematodes for studies of cephalic structures and further surface features, where the study by light microscopy produces insufficient results. Although we have relatively large amounts of information regarding parasites of orangutans, identification to the species level is still needed. During our parasitologicalmonitoring of wild and semi-wild orangutans in North Sumatra at the site of a former rehabilitation station in Bohorok between 1999 ? 2003 we collected five ascarid specimens from the fresh faeces of two semi-wild adult females. It is clear that two species had been found, according to literature concerning ascarids findings from orangutans: Ascaris lumbricoides (Linnaeus, 1758) and A. satyri Chatin, 1877.
