Helminths of Liophis miliaris (Squamata, Dipsadidae): a list of species and new records

2015

SummaryIn order to have better knowledge of the parasites of the common water snake Liophis miliaris (Linnaeus, 1758), a checklist of its helminths was produced based on a review of the literature and new records of worms identifi ed during the course of a parasitological survey combining data from stool analysis (n = 22) and necropsies (n = 8) of specimens of this snake from Muriaé, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Thirty-one helminth species (two acanthocephalans, one cestode, 11 nematodes and 17 trematodes) were so far reported in L. miliaris in the Neotropical region, already including the records in the present study of Acanthorhabdias acanthorhabdias Pereira, 1927, Paracapillaria (Ophidiocapillaria) cesarpintoi (Freitas & Lent, 1934) and Strongyloides ophidiae Pereira, 1929. Taxonomic comments on these nematode species are given, and areas of occurrence of A. acanthorhabdias and P. cesarpintoi are expanded in southeastern Brazil. In addition, factors related to parasite richness of L. miliaris, which is likely related to its aquatic habits, are discussed.

“…Whereas all species of Capillostrongyloides have been reported from fishes, those of Paracapillaria parasitize fishes and amphibians (subgenus Paracapillaria Mendonça), reptiles (snakes) (subgenus Ophidiocapillaria Moravec), and a single species, P. philippinensis (Chitwood, Velasquez and Salazar), is known from birds and mammals including man (subgenus Crossicapillaria Moravec) (see Moravec 2001a,b, Timi et al 2007). Freitas and Lent (1935) erected Capillostrongyloides to accommodate the species Capillostrongyloides zederi Freitas and Lent, and Capillostrongyloides minima (Travassos, Artigas and Pereira), and they characterized it by the generally small measurements of the body and a small number of eggs in the uterus in females. However, according to Moravec (1982), these characters cannot be taken for generic criteria.…”

A new nematode species, Capillostrongyloides arapaimae sp. n., is described from the intestine and pyloric caeca of the arapaima, Arapaima gigas (Schinz), from the Mexiana Island, Amazon river delta, Brazil. It is characterized mainly by the length of the spicule (779-1,800 µm), the large size of the body (males and gravid females 9. 39-21.25 and 13.54-27.70 mm long, respectively) and by the markedly broad caudal lateral lobes in the male. It is the third species of genus Capillostrongyloides reported to parasitize Neotropical freshwater fishes.

“…It was mentioned above that the only record of Paratrichosoma recurvum is that reported by Solger (1877Solger ( , 1933, who found females of this parasite in the skin of an unidenti®ed crocodile bought in the naturalist's store, probably Crocodylus acutus, allegedly imported from Mexico. In their monograph on capillariids, Skryabin et al (1957) have reported Crocodilus americanus and C. acutus to be the hosts of this parasite, which is evidently an error; C. americanus Laurenti was considered by Freitas and Lent (1935) and LoÂ pez-Neyra (1947) to be a valid name for C. acutus and, apparently, their information was misinterpreted by Skryabin et al (1957), who took these two synonyms to be the names of two independent species. The present ®nding of P. recurvum in C. moreletii represents a new host record.…”

First description of the male and redescription of the female of Paratrichosomarecurvum (Nematoda: Capillariidae), a skin-invading parasite of crocodiles in Mexico

The first description of the male and a redescription of the female of the nematode Paratrichosoma recurvum (Solger, 1877), a parasite of the abdominal skin of crocodiles, are presented on the basis of specimens collected from Crocodilus moreletii Duméril et Bibron from the Lagoon of Celestún, Yucatan, Mexico. The morphology of P. recurvum proved to be very similar to that of the only other congeneric species, P. crocodylus Ashford et Muller, 1978, but the former differed from the latter in having distinctly protruding polar plugs on eggs, reduced mesenchymal cells at the esophagointestinal junction, and a smooth spicular surface as well as in geographic distribution. The finding of P. recurvum in C. moreletii represents a new host record. Paratrichosoma spp. appear to be widely distributed in tropical countries of different continents and may be of economic importance for crocodile farms.
