NEMATODE PARASITES FROM TURKISH VERTEBRATES: AN ANNOTATED LIST

Gerhard A. Schad, Robert E. Kuntz, William H. Wells

Open publisher page 69 citations

Abstract

An annotated list of nematodes recovered from 35 species of Turkish vertebrates is presented. In addition to information enabling improved taxonomic characterization of several species, the annotations describe Heligmosomum sp., a parasite of Crocidura russula, and discuss the value of the dorsal ray in distinguishing between species of the Heligmosomidae. Observations are made on the parasitic stages in the life history of Angusticaecum holopterum and their distribution in the host. Notes are given on the recognition of the genus Pseudophysaloptera, and the male of Rictularia proni is described.
