Nematóides do Brasil. Parte III: nematóides de répteis

Abstract

ABSTRACf. BRAZILlAN NEMATODES. PART 11I: NEMATODES OF REPTILES. A survey af ncmatode species parasizing Brazilian reptiles is presented, with data enough to provide lheir spccific idcntification. The first scclion rcfcrs to the catalogation af lhe species, related to 127 superfamilics, 23 families, S5 genera and 121 spedes lha! are figurcd and includcd in measurement tables. The second sc:clion is concemed to the catalogue af host reptiles, with 16 families, and 90 species and their respective parasite nematodes. The identification ofthese hclminths is achieved bymeans ofl.:eys to lhe superfamilies, families and genera. Specific determinalion is induced through lhe figures and tables as above mentioned.

Nematodes associated with Iguana iguana (Linnaeus, 1758) (Squamata, Iguanidae) in Semi-arid areas of Northeastern Brazil

“…Alaeuris caudatus and Alaeuris vogelsangi are common parasites of I. iguana (Vicente et al, 1993). Alaeuris caudatus has been recorded infecting this lizard in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Puerto Rico (Vicente et al, 1993;Dyer et al, 1999;Ávila and Silva, 2010), but there has been no report of the parasitological indices for abundance these species.…”

“…Alaeuris caudatus has been recorded infecting this lizard in Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Puerto Rico (Vicente et al, 1993;Dyer et al, 1999;Ávila and Silva, 2010), but there has been no report of the parasitological indices for abundance these species. There have been reports of A. vogelsangi infecting iguanas in the following countries: Brazil (Petter, 1970;Ávila and Silva, 2013), Puerto Rico (Dyer et al, 1999) and Venezuela (Lent and Freitas, 1948).…”

“…The helminths were identified according to Inglis et al (1960), Vicente (1966) and Vicente et al (1993).…”

Helminths of the Lizard Salvator merianae (Squamata, Teiidae) in the Caatinga, Northeastern Brazil

“…The nematodes were cleared using lactophenol, mounted on temporary slides, analyzed with a microscope and identified through the literature (Pereira et al, 2012(Pereira et al, , 2014Vicente et al, 1993). Subsequently, they were deposited in the Parasitological Collection of the Regional University of Cariri (URCA-P: 444-466).…”

Molecular and ultrastructure characterization of two nematodes(Thelandros scleratus and Physalopteroides dactyluris)based on ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA sequences

“…The differentiation between Parapharyngodon Chatterji, 1933 andThelandros Wedl, 1861 has been controversial by reason of the morphological similarities. Several authors considered them as synonym (Baylis, 1936;Karve, 1938;Vicente et al, 1993), while others considered them as different genera (Ramallo et al, 2002;Bursey & Goldberg, 2005). Both genera can be differentiated from each other on the basis of posterior end morphology in both sexes (Bursey & Goldberg, 2005).…”
