“…Records: Mariaux [44]; Mariaux [155]. Host: Gymnoris dentata (reported as Petronia dentata) [44,155]. Distribution: Côte d'Ivoire [44,155].…”

“…Host: Gymnoris dentata (reported as Petronia dentata) [44,155]. Distribution: Côte d'Ivoire [44,155]. Remarks: Mariaux [44] reported this material as Anomotaenia sp.…”

“…Record: Mariaux [44]; Mariaux [155]. Hosts: Ploceus nigerrimus [44] and Ploceus castaneofuscus (reported as Ploceus nigerrimus castaneofuscus) [155]. Distribution: Côte d'Ivoire.…”

“…Substantial contributions were presented by Africa-based helminthologists such as Ortlepp [29,49,64,85,86,104,114,131,224] and Junker and Boomker [65] in the Republic of South Africa, or Mettrick and Beverley-Burton in former Rhodesia (Zambia and Zimbabwe) (Mettrick [79,141,143,145,151,159,211,215,216]; Beverley-Burton [167]; Mettrick and Beverley-Burton, [115]). In particular areas of Africa, there were long-term studies on the parasite fauna of birds based on local establishments, such as healthcare institutes (e.g., Morocco-Dollfus [63,66]) or field stations (Côte d Ivoire-Mariaux [44,130,155,207,208]; Mariaux and Vaucher [105,144,149,202]). The most recent data were published by the present authors [153,175,227] in the frames of a large-scale inventory project [232].…”
