An Onchocerca sp. was isolated from the nuchal ligaments of 78 out of 79 naturally infected cattle in Southern Mexico. Infections were moderate to heavy, averaging 20-30 parasites per nuchal ligament. Microfilariae were concentrated in the skin of the head and neck, although small numbers were found in the skin of the withers, brisket and medial abdomen. High numbers of microfilariae were found in the skin around the eye, but not in the ocular tissues themselves a situation dissimilar to that found in human onchocerciasis. Morphologically, adult females, males and microfilariae were identified as being O. gutturosa. Analysis of the isoenzyme patterns of LDH, MDH, PGM, GPI, PGD and ES of adult female worms, showed the Mexican parasite to be the same as O. gutturosa from England and Australia.
