Specimens of Foleyellides were collected from the body cavity of frogs in different regions of Mexico; Lithobates brownorum from Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche; L. megapoda from Jalisco and Rhinella marina, from Guerrero. Foleyellides calakmulesisn. sp. is described based on specimens found parasitizing L. brownorum. The new species is distinguished from the other members of the genus by the combination of the following male characters: four pairs of caudal papillae different in size and the presence of a preanal plaque. Partial DNA sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase C, subunit I of the four known Mexican species of Foleyellides and two potentially new species collected in this study were generated and compared, validating the erection of the new species.

“…Therefore, determining their presence in the final host is still challenging. Most of the previous research on Neofoleyellides has focused on the host of amphibians, and the phylogenetic relationships of amphibian onchocercids has been examined using molecular genetic methods (18S rDNA and cox 1 gene sequences), in which all species parasitizing amphibians were recovered as the most distantly related genera of the family tree [ 5 , 8 ]. However, relationships between Foleyellides , Neofoleyellides, and Ochoterenella remained unresolved.…”

The Onchocercidae family is composed of more than 30 valid nematode species with notable zoonotic potential. Current limitations in molecular characterization methods and species identification are the main obstacles to a better understanding of the biology of Onchocercidae species, particularly in wildlife. This study describes for the first time the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of Neofoleyellides sp. isolated from a wild bird (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) and belonging to the Neofoleyellides genus (Nematoda: Onchocercidae). The mt genome of Neofoleyellides sp. (GenBank accession number: ON641583) was a typical circular DNA molecule of 13,628 bp in size with an AT content of 76.69%. The complete mt genome comprised 36 functional subunits, including 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The most common start codon was ATT/ATG except for nad2 with TTG, and TAA was the termination codon for all protein-coding genes (PCGs). Phylogenetic analysis of the concatenated and aligned amino acid sequences of the 12 PCGs showed that the trees generated using different methods (Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood) with different partition schemes shared similar topologies. The isolated Neofoleyellides sp. was placed in the Onchocercidae family and formed a sister branch with the genera Onchocerca and Dirofilaria. The entire mt genome of Neofoleyellides sp. presented in this study could provide useful data for studying the population genetics and phylogenetic relationships of Onchocercidae species.
