“…There are three intestinal species, all of which occur in Britain, but the records of their distribution are very limited. Thus Davies (1932) and James (1954) have reported Itygonimus lorum and /. ocreatus from west Wales and Fahmy (unpublished thesis) recorded the same two species from south-east Scotland.…”

“…ocreatus from west Wales and Fahmy (unpublished thesis) recorded the same two species from south-east Scotland. In addition, Davies (1932) mentioned the third species, Omphalometra flexuosa, as occurring in west Wales. The present work, though by no means exhaustive, fills in the picture to some extent by providing records from moles caught in four main areas: Suffolk, Cheshire-Staffordshire, Westmorland-Yorkshire, south-west Scotland, and a single record from Oxford.…”

1. Moles were collected from four main areas, Suffolk, Cheshire-Staffordshire, Westmorland-Yorkshire, and south-west Scotland, and examined for the presence of flukes. Three species were found: Itygonimus lorum from all the areas (and in one mole from Oxford); I ocreatus from Suffolk; Omphalometra flexuosa from Suffolk and Cheshire-Staffordshire.2. The sex of the host has no effect on the incidence of parasitism with flukes.3. I. lorum is almost exclusively a parasite of the lower half of the intestine, whereas I.ocreatus and O. flexuosa are predominantly parasites of the upper half of the intestine.4. The commonest number of flukes of any of the three species to find in a mole is one, though two individuals is almost as common a number in the case of I. lorum. Nevertheless, large populations of I. ocreatus or O. flexuosa and moderate numbers of I. lorum are on occasion found in one mole.5. Premunition does not occur with infestations of I. lorum and probably not with I. ocreatus and O. flexuosa.6. The distribution of each species even within an area where it occurs is very patchy and local. This is probably bound up with restricted movement of the hosts, whether final or intermediate, and may also be associated with the influence of soil conditions on the intermediate hosts.7. There appears to be no seasonal variation in the presence of flukes in moles.8. Simultaneous infestation with more than one species of fluke is rare. It is possible for O. flexuosa to live in company with I. lorum or I. Ocreatus, but the two Itygonimus species were never found together in the same mole.9. The presence of flukes in a mole has no effect on the rest of the intestinal helminth population of the host.

First finding of Ityogonimus lorum and I. ocreatus co-infection in the Iberian mole, Talpa occidentalis

The Ityogonimus lorum-I. ocreatus co-infection is reported for the first time in the Iberian mole Talpa occidentalis in Asturias (NW Spain). Both Ityogonimus species are stenoxenous helminths of insectivores of the genus Talpa and they have often been found parasitizing the Iberian mole and also the European mole T. europaea, but a mixed infection had not been previously reported. The present study also highlights the main differential morphometric characteristics between I. lorum and I. ocreatus such as the body length, the ventral sucker diameter, the ratio between suckers and the distance between suckers.

Helminth fauna of Talpa spp. in the Palaearctic Realm

The helminth fauna of the genus Talpa in the Palaearctic Realm is reviewed. Several helminth species reported in Talpa spp. by a number of authors are discussed, with reference to host specificity, parasite biology, and host ethology, ecology and phylogeny. Twelve species of cestodes were found, two of which exhibit stenoxenous specificity (Staphylocystis bacillaris and Multitesticulata filamentosa). Only three species of trematodes, Ityogonimus lorum, Ityogonimus ocreatus and Combesia macrobursata, are exclusive parasites of Talpa spp. The largest group are nematodes, with 37 species. Species of Tricholinstowia are parasites of holarctic talpids and several species of distinct genera, such as Capillaria, Soboliphyme and Trichuris, are found only in Talpa spp. Only acanthocephalans of the genus Moniliformis have been reported in moles of the genus Talpa. On the basis of these helminthological findings, the close phylogenetic relationship between moles (Talpidae) and shrews (Soricidae) supports the separation of the ordinal levels Soricomorpha and Erinaceomorpha.
