Description

FIGURE 3. Streams in Iceland where free-living adult worms and infected arthropod hosts were found. (A–B) Unnamed stream (site 34) in Hengladalir, a valley in the Hengill region of Southwestern Iceland. Note the algal mat (arrow in A) where adult free-living hairworm (B) was found. Scale bar = 5 mm. (C) Unnamed stream (site 33) along Uxahryggjavegur road. Note small pool on periphery of stream where worms were found (arrow in C). (D) Female worm in a small pool. Scale bar = 10 mm. (E) Ground beetle (Amara sp.) collected next to the small pool where a free-living adult female worm was collected. Scale bar = 6 mm. (F) Immature hairworm recovered from the body cavity of Amara sp. Scale bar = 6 mm. (G–H) Posterior and anterior ends of an immature female worm recovered from Amara sp. Note the molting cuticle. Scale bar = 0.3 mm.
