“…were not available for comparison, and strobilate cestodes were apparently not deposited following many surveys involving this assemblage of rodent species across North America (e.g., Erickson 1938;Hansen 1950;Grundmann and Frandsen 1960;Babero and Matthias 1967;Vaughn 2013). Access to new comparative materials for concurrent or integrated morphological/molecular analyses is essential to enhance our ability to more completely document parasite faunal diversity among Peromyscus spp.…”

A previously unrecognized species of hymenolepidid cestode attributable to Hymenolepis is described based on specimens in Peromyscus polionotus, oldfield mouse, from Georgia near the southeastern coast of continental North America. Specimens of Hymenolepis folkertsi n. sp. differ from those attributed to most other species in the genus by having testes arranged in a triangle and a scolex with a prominent rostrum-like protrusion. The newly recognized species is further distinguished by the relative position and length of the cirrus sac, shape of seminal receptacle, and relative size of external seminal vesicle and seminal receptacle. Hymenolepidid cestodes have sporadically been reported among the highly diverse assemblage of Peromyscus which includes 56 distinct species in the Nearctic. Although the host genus has a great temporal duration and is endemic to the Nearctic, current evidence suggests that tapeworm faunal diversity reflects relatively recent assembly through bouts of host switching among other cricetid, murid, and geomyid rodents in sympatry.

“…For example, considering the species-rich genus Peromyscus Gloger, (Cricetidae, Neotominae), representative series of voucher specimens of hymenolepidid cestodes and other helminths were only sporadically deposited following many local to regional surveys across North America (e.g., Erickson 1938; Hansen 1950; Grundmann and Frandsen 1960; Babero and Matthias 1967; Vaughn 2013). Further, many studies provided only incomplete identification to the generic level, leaving substantial gaps in our documentation of the fauna.…”

Insights on the host associations and geographic distribution of Hymenolepis folkertsi (Cestoda: Hymenolepididae) among rodents across temperate latitudes of North America

et al. 2016

Synoptic data and an understanding of helminth parasite diversity among diverse rodent assemblages across temperate latitudes of North America remain remarkably incomplete. Renewed attention to comprehensive survey and inventory to establish the structure of biodiverse faunas is essential in providing indicators and proxies for identifying the outcomes of accelerating change linked to climate warming and anthropogenic forcing. Subsequent to the description of Hymenolepis folkertsi in the oldfield mouse, Peromyscus polionotus, additional specimens of hymenolepidids were collected or discovered in archived museum repositories from multiple species of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus, Peromyscus leucopus), the golden mouse (Ochrotomys nuttalli), chipmunks (Tamias striatus, Tamias amoenus), the 13-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus), and tree squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis, Sciurus niger) from disjunct localities in the USA spanning southern Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Wisconsin, and central Idaho. Specimens were largely consistent morphologically with the original description of H. folkertsi. Initial DNA sequence data, from a portion of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1, demonstrated intraspecific variation among three apparently geographically isolated populations attributed to H. folkertsi (uncorrected genetic distances of 2.7 % (Idaho and Michigan), 2.4 % (Virginia + Pennsylvania and Michigan), and 1.89 % (VA + PA and ID). Geography rather than host association explains the distribution and occurrence of H. folkertsi, and host colonization among deer mice, chipmunks, and other sciurids within regional sites is indicated. Genetic divergence revealed across localities for H. folkertsi suggests historically isolated populations, consistent with extended evolutionary and biogeographic trajectories among hymenolepidids and species of Peromyscus and Tamias in North America. Field inventory, that revealed these parasite populations, substantially alters our understanding of the distribution of diversity and provides insights about the nature of the complex relationships that serve to determine cestode faunas in rodents.

Amongst material forwarded to me by Dr. M. J. Mackerras of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, were cestodes collected from several specimens of Rattus assimilis (Gould, 1858), from Mt. Glorious, South Queensland and Innisfail, North Queensland. These cestodes have been identified as (i) Hymenolepis diminuta Rudolphi, 1819; (ii) Raillietina (Raillietina) celebensis (Janicki, 1902) (see Baer and Sandars, 1956) ; (iii) Choanotaenia ratticola n.sp ; (iv) Hymenolepis australiensis n.sp. ; (v) one misshapen cysticercus of Taenia taeniaeformis (Batsch, 1786). Of these (i), (ii) and (v) appear to be new host records for Australia while (iii) and (iv) are new species.Whole mounts of all these cestodes were prepared by staining in hydrochloric-alcohol-carmine and some were stained in weak haemalum. They were all mounted in Canada balsam. Scolices were also mounted in berlase medium, some of which were squashed to facilitate the detailed study of the rostellar hooks. Sections were cut at 9 \L and stained in haemalum and eosin. Measurements given were made from mounted specimens.* On study leave from the University of Queensland and the Queensland
