The dog underwent hernia repair surgery during which four long nematodes were detected in the peritoneal serosa of the inguinal hernial sac. One female specimen was subjected to genomic DNA extraction to confirm species identification, based on amplification and sequencing of a 670-bp fragment of the cytochrome<jats:italic> c<\/jats:italic> oxidase subunit 1 (<jats:italic>cox<\/jats:italic>1) gene.
