“…were 16-48 longitudinal rows of 8-40 each [6]. Especially, it was 28-29 longitudinal rows of 15-16 hooks in Centrorhynchus aluconis [7], 30-32 rows of 12 in Centrorhynchus cinctum [8], similar to 29-33 × 12-13 in the present worms. In addition, the testes were in the anterior portion of the trunk, and the number of cement glands was 3, fitting the criteria of 3-6 [6].…”

“…In this study, the detailed species identification was not possible due to the absence of full development and intrauterine eggs of the worm. Centrorhynchus is the largest acanthocephalan genus having almost 90 species, and these are parasites mainly of birds of the orders Falconiformes and Strigiformes [7]. Hence, an experimental infection into birds should be the first target to be examined.…”

Abstract:Reptiles were known to serve as paratenic hosts for Centrorhynchus (Acanthocephala: Centrorhynchidae) in Korea, but the infection course in experimental animals was not elucidated yet. In this study, the tiger keelback snakes (Rhabdophis tigrinus) were collected and digested with artificial pepsin solution, and the larvae of Centrorhynchus were recovered from them. Then, the collected larvae were orally infected to rats for developmental observations. In rats, all the larvae were observed outside the intestine on day 3 post-infection (PI), including the mesentery and abdominal muscles. As for the development in rats, the ovary of Centrorhynchus sp. was observed at day 15 PI, and the cement glands were 3 in number. Based on the morphological characteristics, including the arrangement of proboscis hooks, these larvae proved to be a species of Centrorhynchus, and more studies were needed for species identification.

New data on helminth fauna of birds of prey (Falconiformes, Accipitriformes, Strigiformes) in the Slovak Republic

et al. 2017

SummaryIn the years 2012-2014, carcasses of 286 birds of prey from the territory of Slovakia were examined for the presence of helminth parasites. The number of bird species in the study was 23; fi ve belonging to the Falconiformes order, eleven to Accipitriformes, and seven to Strigiformes. A fi nding of Cestoda class comprehended 4 families: Paruterinidae (4), Dilepididae (2), Mesocestoididae (2) and Anoplocephalidae (1). Birds of prey were infected with 6 families Nematoda species of the Secernentea class: Syngamidae (1), Habronematidae (2), Tetrameridae (3), Physalopteridae (1), Acuariidae (1), and Anisakidae (2). Out of the Adenophorea class, the Capillariidae family (1) was confi rmed. The Acanthocephala group was represented by the Paleacanthocephala class, the Centrorhynchidae family (3). Out of the Trematoda class, 12 different species of fl ukes were found, belonging to the Diplostomidae (5), Cyathocotylidae (1), Strigeidae (4), Opistorchidae (1), and Plagiorchidae (1) families. The most frequent helminth species infecting diurnal birds of prey was Strigea falconis. This fl uke was confi rmed in one bird species from the Falconiformes order and in eight species from the Accipitriformes order. In nocturnal birds of prey, the most common fi nding was the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus aluconis, identifi ed in four different host species of the Strigiformes order. In total, 23 helminth species were recorded for the fi rst time in Slovakia.

“…Schmidt and Neiland (1966) characterized this species by the presence of 15 -17 hooks per rows, of which the first 8 -9 in each row have well-developed roots, being the remaining hooks rootless but with strong anteriorly directed manubrium, without detailing the presence of transitional hooks. Later, Dimitrova and Gibson (2005) described encysted juveniles of this species from Anolis lineatopus lineatopus Grey and A. sagrei Duméril &Bibron from Jamaica and reported new data for the pattern of hooks per row: 8 -9 + 3 + 4-5 (exceptionally 6). The most important morphological differences between the proboscis armature of the new species and C. crotophagicola, are the greater number of hooks per longitudinal row (18 versus 15 -17) and the greater number of transitional hooks (4 versus 3).…”

“…(Longirostris) polymorphus; posteriorly, Golvan (1960) and Yamaguti (1963) consider it as C. polymorphus and Dimitrova and Gibson (2005) believe that this species better fits Sphaerirostris Golvan 1956 than Centrorhynchus due to the shape and size of the body and proboscis.…”

Centrorhynchus guira n. sp. is described from the guira cuckoo, Guira guira (Gmelin) (Cuculiformes: Cuculidae), from Argentina. This new species is characterized by the proboscis armament with 32 longitudinal rows (29 with 18 hooks per row and 3 with 19 hooks per row) and by the following hook pattern per row: 8–9 true hooks, 4 transitional hooks with lateral alate processes, and 6 spiniform hooks. The presence of transitional hooks is shared with five other Neotropical species in the genus: C. polymorphus, C. albidus, C. microcephalus, C. kuntzi and C. crotophagicola. Among these species, C. guira n. sp. most closely resembles C. kuntzi in having transitional hooks with lateral alate processes, however differs in the number of hooks per row and spiniform hooks. This is the first record of the genus Centrorhynchus parasitizing Argentinean birds. A key to the species of the Neotropical Centrorhynchus Lühe 1911 is presented.
