  abstract = {{F}ilarioid nematodes are parasites of the tissues and tissue spaces of all vertebrates except fish. {F}emales produce microfilariae that enter the host's blood circulation or skin and may cause ocular and neurological pathology, leading to important implications in veterinary and public health. {T}he present work is the first investigation on {S}etaria labiatopapillosa conducted in {M}orocco to characterize the morphological features of both adult and microfilaria forms. {T}wo adult female nematodes were found free in the thoracic cavity of a slaughtered 3.5-year-old (6 teeth) {M}oroccan enhanced cross-breed bull which was born and raised in {M}orocco. {T}he worms were identified as {S}. labiatopapillosa by light microscope ({LM}) and scanning electron microscopy ({SEM}) on the basis of their characteristic features of the anterior and posterior parts of the worms. {T}he two {S}. labiatopapillosa worms measured 90 mm and 105 mm in length and 0.55 and 0.64 mm in width, respectively. {M}icrofilariae were detected in the fully developed eggs contained in the uterus of both nematodes. {A} detailed morphology of both the adult females and larvae of {S}. labiatopapillosa is described using {LM} and {SEM}. {A}lthough the origin of {S}. labiatopapillosa analyzed in the present study is unknown and there is currently no evidence that {S}etaria spp. have invaded {M}orocco, further surveillance is warranted to determine the incidence of setariasis, identify its vectors, and take appropriate measures to protect the livestock and cattle industry of the country.},
