摘要
本研究的目的是根据身体的形态测量和颜色模式,描述巴格达省一些替代医学诊所使用的水蛭物种。从一些诊所收集了20条水蛭。所有标本均根据标准可用钥匙进行鉴定和描述。记录了水蛭的形态特征和染色模式,表明这些水蛭是Hirudo orientalis Utevsky和Trontelj,2005和H.verbana Carena,1820。
MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF TWO LEECH SPECIES (ANNELIDA, HIRUDINEA) WHICH USED IN SOME ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CLINICS IN BAGHDAD PROVINCE, IRAQ
The aim of this study is to describe the leech species that are used in some of the alternative medicine clinics in Baghdad Province based on morphometric measurements and colouring pattern of the body.
