Extract

A case of human infection with Physaloptera causing an abscess in the neck of a patient in Hyderabad is recorded. The structure of one of the worms recovered, a female, is described and compared with that of other species recorded from mammals in India, but in the absence of the male it is not possible to determine the species.
