Popis: Surveys on the zoonotic parasites have been carried out in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, since 1980. Larvae of a nematode species belonging to the genus Gnathostoma (Gnathostomatidae) were recently recovered from several species of amphibians and reptiles collected in the northern mountainous area of Okinawa Isl. Since there has been no record on this genus from Okinawa Isl., the authors would like to describe the morphological characteristics of the parasite and to make some comments on the pathogenicity for man.
