“…(Nedelchev, Pilarska, Takov, & Golemansky, 2013;Singh, Rastogi, & Singh, 2014). Nematodes in this family have been identified as parasites in the alimentary tracts of many arthropods, including the cockroach P. americana, the cricket Anurogryllus muticus and the mole cricket Gryllotalpa africana (Achinelly & Camino, 2007;Camino & Maiztegui, 2002;Shah, 2007;Vicente, Ozawa, & Hasegawa, 2016). Gregarines, leeches Herpodella sp., and the nematomorph Gordius aquaticus have been shown to parasitize Scolopendra sp.…”

Endoparasites observed within invertebrates used as live food items for captive wild birds: Overview and potential risks

To monitor and evaluate potential risks to birds’ health, invertebrate species that have been used as live food items had their body contents searched for endoparasites. The contents of approximately 10,000 invertebrates were analyzed. A principal component analysis was performed to study the relationship between the presence/absence of endoparasites and the characteristics of the invertebrates. In most of them, including the species preferred by birds such as caterpillars, waxworms, mealworms, most grasshoppers, and spiders, no organism was identified. Such findings suggest a low potential for parasite transmission associated with its consumption by birds. Although they had unknown or even unlikely implications for the birds’ health, gregarines, oxyurides Leidynema sp., and digenetic trematodes Monolecithotrema sp. were found in samples from woodlice, cockroaches, and centipedes, respectively. The only avian parasites observed in this study were Heterakis gallinarum in samples from earthworms and Acuaria spiralis from woodlice. Suggestively, soil invertebrates showed a higher prevalence of endoparasites and may represent a higher potential risk in comparison to the other categories of invertebrates sampled herein. Detritivory and collected origin were also explanatory variables related to the presence of endoparasites in the current study.

“…Several species of nematodes have been discovered from the host G. africana (mole crickets) in Russia, Brazil, India, France, Germany and Spain [1–4]. In India, from G. africana a number of nematode species were described that belong to the various genera viz., Binema Travassos, 1925 [1]; Basirella Biswas and Chakravarty, 1963 [5]; Cameronia Basir, 1948a [6]; Chitwoodiella Basir, 1948b [7]; Gryllophila Basir, 1942a [8]; Indiana Chakravarty, 1943 [9]; Isobinema Rao, 1958 [10]; Mirzaiella Basir, 1942a [8]; Mohibiella Farooqui, 1970 [11]; Pteronemella Rao, 1958 [10]; Singhiella Rao, 1958 [10].…”

Binema mirzaia (Basir, 1942a) Basir, 1956, Cameronia nisari (Parveen and Jairajpuri, 1985) Adamson and Van Waerebeke, 1992a and Mirzaiella meerutensis Singh and Malti, 2003 are redescribed morphologically along with molecular identification from the intestine of mole cricket Gryllotalpa africana. Molecular characterization was carried out using the D2–D3 expansion domains of the 18S ribosomal DNA region. This study first time presents molecular data for the above three nematode species.

“…In freshwater systems, parasitological studies have mainly been carried out on vertebrates and molluscs, but little is known about parasites from aquatic insects. Some studies have reported infection by diverse parasites (Hirasawa & Urabe ; Hirasawa & Yuma ; Amato & Amato ), while others have explored behavioral aspects of both parasites (Snyder & Janovy ) and hosts (Vance & Peckarscky ) or more applied issues, such as the use of entomopathogenic nematodes against harmful insects (Camino & Maiztegui ; Camino & de Villalobos ). Most research has been centered on systems with single host and parasite species.…”

In freshwater systems, parasitological studies have mainly been carried out on vertebrates and molluscs, but little is known about parasites of aquatic insects. We describe the trematodes and nematodes parasitizing the benthic insects of an Andean Patagonian stream and the presence of parasites in the terrestrial adult stages. Members of 3 of 20 insect taxa were found to be parasitized by larval nematodes, and members of six taxa harbored metacercariae of digeneans. In benthic samples, chironomids, simuliids (Order Diptera), and baetids (Order Ephemeroptera) harbored mermithid larvae (Nematoda). The stonefly Antarctoperla michaelseni (Order Plecoptera), the caddisfly Smicridea annulicornis (Order Trichoptera), a watersnipe fly (Order Diptera: Athericidae), and three species of leptophlebiid mayflies (Order Ephemeroptera) were parasitized by encysted plagiorchiid metacercariae (Order Plagiorchiida). Most metacercariae were found in the three species of mayflies with prevalences ranging 15-63% and mean intensities ranging 1.2-4.9. Prevalence declined from summer to early winter, probably because of the emergence of infected nymphs and the recruitment of uninfected new cohorts. The imagos had live metacercariae with higher prevalences and intensities of infection than nymphs. We suggest that these plagiorchiids have an allogenic life cycle, involving a terrestrial definitive host.
