During necropsy with special refer to stomach of one 4-year-old male Persian onager, parasites were collected from stomach and transferred to 70 % alcohol. Samples were recovered and identified as Gasterophilus pecorum and Habronema muscae. All larvae collected were washed in saline solution (NaCl 0.9 %) and identified using stereo microscope. Also, tissue samples were taken from gastric wall, the attachment place of larvae for histopathological examination, and then they were transferred to 10 % buffered formalin. Following routine processes and H&E staining, the slides were examined microscopically. Main histopathological observations were interruption of the mucosa, gastric wall thickening, prominent parakeratosis, and acanthosis. With the authors’ information, this is the first report and histopathological study of Gasterophilus pecorum and Habronema muscae in Persian onager.
