Sôbre as espécies de Brachylaemus (Brachylaemus) Dujardin, 1843 (Trematoda)

Digenean parasites of Cariama cristata (Aves, Gruiformes) from Formosa Province, Argentina, with the description of a new species of the genus Strigea

“…Brachylaima advena Dujardin, 1843 according to Butcher and Grove 2001) possesses morphological characters and morphometrical data similar to B. yupanquii (see Table III), however according Freitas et al(1967), these species can be differentiated by the ratio ventral sucker/oral sucker, being higher than 1 in the last species. Dujardin (1845) reported the presence of B. migrans parasitizing the following species of mammals and birds in France: Sorex araneus L., Sorex leucodon Herman (Rodentia: Soricidae), Eliomys quercinus L. (as Myoxus nitella) (Rodentia: Gliridae), Rattus rattus L. (as Mus rattus) and Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout (as Mus decumanus) (Rodentia: Muridae) and Turdus iliacus L. (as T. musicus) (Aves: Turdidae).…”

Moreover, Heyneman et al (1960) described an indeterminate species parasitizing a species of passeriform bird from Venezuela.…”

“…Dujardin (1845) reported the presence of B. migrans parasitizing the following species of mammals and birds in France: Sorex araneus L., Sorex leucodon Herman (Rodentia: Soricidae), Eliomys quercinus L.

(as T. musicus) (Aves: Turdidae). In South America, this species was reported parasitizing several species of mammals infected naturally from Brazil (murids, cricetids, didelphids and dasypodids) and a species of didelphid marsupial from Argentina (Lutz 1895;Freitas et al 1967;Dobbin and Freitas 1968;Travassos et al 1969;Martínez 1986). In addition, Freitas et al (1967) provide a long list of synonymous species of B. advena, extending its geographic distribution to North America, Africa, and Europa and, its list of natural hosts; and reported adult specimens obtained experimentally both in mammals and birds, such as Columba livia Gmelin, Numida meleagridis L. and Gallus gallus L. Given the above, B. migrans is a generalist species that parasitizes both mammals and birds.…”
