Abstract

Tanqua tiara (T. tiara) is the gastric nematode of Varanus salvator (V. salvator) [1-4], this study was conducted to identification morphology of T. tiara. Although there are no reports of human and animal infection T. tiara but still have the potential to transmit the disease to humans through direct contact or indirectly. Isolation of adult worms T. tiara from the digestive tract of V. salvator and then will make to dry preparat.Some 20 V.alvator’s gastrointestinal tract at autopsy and gained as much as 321 nematode worms, nematode worms were obtained from the stomach V. salvator, result identification from dry preparat show : Male (mm) (Total length of body 9.4-32, Wide body 0,26-1,77, Diameter of head-bulb 0,17-0,32, The length of the head 0,23-0,33, Distance from the head-end to the end of the esophagus 2,8-5,7, Distance from the head-end to cervical sac 0,22-0,81, The thickness of the cuticle 0,008-0,036, Long tail 0,13-0,42, Long spikula0,3-1,1) and female (mm) (Total length of body 6,8-22, Wide body 0,14-2,33, Diameter of head-bulb 0,15-0,34, The length of the head 0,1-0,28, Distance from the head-end to the end of the esophagus 2,3-4,58, Distance from the head-end to cervical sac 0,18-0,88, The thickness of the cuticle 0,007-0,031, Long tail 0,12-0,28, Distance vulva from the tail end 3,02-3,61, Long uterus 13,1-21,4, size of egg 0,04-0,052X0,03-0,049). Identification of morphological Tanqua tiara indicate worms vary in size, but the specimen is dominated by small-sized worms. Keywords: Varanus salvator; Tanqua tiara; Cephalic bulb
