When observed in histological sections, the mean size of the eggs (n=100) was 83,4 x 65,5mm, morphometric index (MI) 0,8, and the mean size of the morule (n=100) was 45,4 x 31,8mm, MI 0,7. When observed in the lung tissue imprint, the mean size of the eggs (n=100) was 105,3 x 93,6mm, MI 0,9 and the mean size of the morule (n=100) was 43,1 x 36,5mm, MI 0,8. The lung tissue imprint employed allowed the observation of the same parasitic forms visualized in histological sections. The results suggest the viability of using this technique for the pós-morte diagnostic of A. abstrusus.

Reared on Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank), at 25 °C, development from egg to adult required 8.6 ± 0.9 days, the total number of eggs laid was 95.4 ± 25.0 per female, and the population increase capacity was relatively high, as suggested by the calculated valueof rm (0.217 female per female per day).
