Notes on the Species of Capillaria Zeder, 1800 Known from Gallinaceous Birds

The taxonomy of Capillaria spp. (Nematoda: Trichuroidea) in carnivorous mammals from Ontario, Canada

“…Although recognition of genera on the basis of differences in cirrus morphology does permit major groupings of species, this has been rejected by the present authors (in agreement with Baylis, 1931 andMadsen, 1951) because of lacking supportive characters. cirrus and alar morphology), all species appear remarkably similar morphologically.…”

“…with Baylis (1931Baylis ( , 1937 and Madsen (1951) Freitas & Silva (1960) and Freitas & Mendonqa (1960) proposed Orthothominx and Pearsonema respectively;…”

Integrated taxonomic approaches to seven species of capillariid nematodes (Nematoda: Trichocephalida: Trichinelloidea) in poultry from Japan and Indonesia, with special reference to their 18S rDNA phylogenetic relationships

“…Remarks: As described by Baruš and Sergejeva (1989b), E. contortus is cosmopolitan in distribution and has been isolated from a great variety of birds, including domestic geese. Madsen (1951) stated that E. contortus and E. perforans had no substantial morphological differences; thus, the latter should be a junior synonym of E. contortus. Baruš and Sergejeva (1989b) emphasized, however, the need to observe very carefully certain special characteristics that had only rarely been used in the past to distinguish the species, e.g., bacillary bands and structure of the external surface of eggs.…”

Trichurid nematodes in ring-necked pheasants from backyard flocks of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: frequency and pathology

“…Worldwide reported species of this group, parasitizing ringnecked pheasants and according to the classification proposed by Moravec (1982), are: Eucoleus perforans (Kotlán & Orosz, 1931), E. annulatus (Molin, 1858), E. contortus (Creplin, 1839), Capillaria uropapillata Freitas & Almeida, 1935 parasitizing the crop and esophagus mucosa, Aonchotheca caudinflata (Molin, 1858), Baruscapillaria obsignata (Madsen, 1945) infecting the small intestine, C. phasianina Kotlán, 1940 in the small intestine and cecum and C. collaris (Linstow, 1873) in the cecum (Freitas & Almeida 1935, 1936, Reis & Nobrega 1938, Madsen 1941, 1951, Freitas et al 1959, Clapham 1961, Bickford & Gaafar 1966, Kellogg & Prestwood 1968, Barus & Sergejeva 1989a. Costa et al (1986) and Vicente et al (1995) listed four species of trichurid worms parasitizing Brazilian ringnecked pheasants: C. phasianina, C. uropapillata, E. annulatus, and E. perforans.…”
