To clarify current status of gnathostomiasis in Thailand, a survey on intermediate hosts has been carried out at various localities since 1987. It was found that Fluta alba (Fresh water eel) as well as Channa striata (snake-headed fish) might be important in playing a role of transmitting the infection either among humans or reservoir animals. During the three years from 1987 to 1989, larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum were found in 80-100% of F. alba obtained from markets in Nakhon Nayok, with a maximum recovery of 2,582 larvae per eel. Among larvae found in these eels, five were peculiar in possessing four rows of hooklets with complicated branches at the base. Epithelial cells of the intestine of these larvae contained 1-2 nuclei. These observations indicate that the larvae are different from those of reported species of Gnathostoma from Thailand including G. spinigerum, suggesting a possibility of the advanced third-stage larvae of G. malaysiae.
