Description of Litomosoides ysoguazu n. sp. (Nematoda, Onchocercidae), a parasite of the tuft-toed rice rat Sooretamys angouya (Fischer) (Rodentia: Cricetidae), and a first record of L. esslingeri Bain, Petit & Berteaux, 1989 in Paraguay

Abstract: Paraguay is a small landlocked country whose mammalian fauna is among the least studied in South America, as well as their parasites. As a result of a study of the effects of habitat fragmentation on small mammal biodiversity in eastern Paraguay, we have collected some parasites of cricetid rodents. Herein, we describe a new species of Litomosoides Chandler, 1931 parasitising the body cavity of the tuft-toed rice rat Sooretamys angouya (Fischer) and Litomosoides esslingeri Bain, Petit & Diagne, 1989 parasitisi… Show more

“…Currently, this genus is represented by 43 known species (NOTARNICOLA et al, 2012;NOTARNICOLA & de la SANCHA, 2015;OVIEDO et al, 2016). In Brazil, species of Litomosoides have been found parasitizing marsupials (BAIN et al, 1980;MULLER, 1980), bats (LINS DE ALMEIDA, 1936apud NOTARNICOLA et al, 2010REGO, 1961;GUERRERO et al, 2002;BAIN et al, 2003) and rodents (TRAVASSOS, 1919apud PADILHA & FARIA, 1977PADILHA & FARIA, 1977;BAIN et al, 1989;SIMÕES et al, 2012).…”
