Helminth Parasites of Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals in Egypt: Iv. Four New Species of Oxyurid Parasites From Reptiles

Abstract

Four new species of oxyurid parasites from Egyptian reptiles are described, namely: Thelandros cameroni, Thelandros kuntzi, Spinicauda grimmae, and Aplectana pharyngeodentata.

Morphometric and molecular characterization of Parapharyngodon echinatus (Nematoda, Pharyngodonidae) from the Senegal gecko (Tarentola parvicarinata)

“…Tail filament 80-126 (100 ± 15.6) long, inserted dorsally approximately 8-16 (12 ± 1.8) from upper lip of cloaca opening. P. seurati (Sandground, 1936) Acontias ( P. maculatus (Caballero, 1968) Geckolepis (Gekkonidae) P. micipsae (Seurat, 1917) Moravec et al (1987) P. cameroni (Belle, 1957) Goldberg et al (1999) P. seurati (Sandground, 1936) Saudi Arabia Adamson and Nasher (1984) P. awakoyai (Babero et Okpala, 1962) 4.06 P. maculatus (Caballero, 1968) 3. P. meridionalis (Chabaud et Brygoo, 1962) 5.00-8.00…”

A new species of Moaciria (Nematoda, Heterakidae) and other helminths in the red Mawatta frog, Hylophorbus cf. rufescens (Anura, Microhylidae) from Papua New Guinea

“…Infective larvae have been recovered from at least 20 different genera of beetles, and encapsulated larvae have been found in amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals that typically feed on beetles (Anderson 2000). Third-stage larvae are characterized by a digitiform knob at the tip of the tail (Alicata 1935 (Seurat, 1917) 4.95 360 180 not stated 7 pairs = A. pharyngeodentata Belle, 1957 3.9-4.5 380-420 180 -11 pairs M. komodoensis (Pinnell et Schmidt, 1977) 5 …”

The systematics and zoogeography of Spinicaudinae and Meteterakinae (Heterakoidea: Nematoda) parasitic in reptiles and amphibians
