Description	Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy (LM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were used to study the morphology and anatomy of the reptile parasitic nematode Strongyluris brevicaudata (Mueller, 1894). Specimens were obtained from the intestine of African species of agama, Agama agama (Linnaeus, 1758) (Agamidae), collected in Niokolo Koba National Park, East Senegal. S. brevicaudata was examined and micrographed by a scanning electron microscope for the first time. Special attention was paid to morphological aspects of males and females such as cephalic structures, number and distribution of caudal papillae. Cuticular patterns were analyzed too.
