A checklist of nematode parasites from Indonesian murids

Abstract

A checklist of nematode parasites from Indonesian murids with their geographic distribution is presented. This checklist is compiled from three sources: the catalogue of nematode parasites of Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (unpublished specimens in the collection), data from our previous research and articles on nematodes of Indonesian murids. This checklist is presented as a list of nematode parasites with host information, and a host list with information on their nematodes. This paper reports 38 nominal species of nematodes and 13 species identified to the generic level only. The nematodes reported comprise 32 genera and 17 families parasitizing 32 species of Indonesian murids.

Redescription of <i>Subulura</i> (<i>Murisubulura</i>) <i>andersoni</i> (Cobbold, 1876) (Nematoda: Subuluridae) from <i>Bunomys</i> spp. (Rodentia: Muridae) of Sulawesi, Indonesia, with special reference to <i>S</i>. (<i>M</i>.) <i>suzukii</i> and other related species in the adjacent areas

“…Since then, this species has been reported from wide variety of murine rodents in Indonesia, namely, Rattus lugens in Sumatra, Rattus tanezumi on Krakatau Is., M. bartelsii and Rattus tiomanicus in Java, B. chrysocomus , Bunomys penitus , Bunomys prolatus , Margaretamys elegans , Rattus hoffmanni , Rattus marmosurus , Rattus xanthurus and Rattus sp. in Sulawesi [ 3 ]. In Sahul region, it has been recorded from Rattus leucopus , Pogonomys championi , Uromys anak and Uromys caudimaculatus [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Subulura ( Murisubulura ) andersoni (Cobbold, 1876) (Nematoda: Subuluridae) is widely distributed in the areas ranging from India to Australia [ 2 , 3 , 8 , 10 , 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Although it was first described from a sciurid in India [ 2 ], this nematode is known as a common parasite of murine rodents in Indonesia [ 3 ]. Some related species have been proposed to this subgenus, namely Subulura ( Murisubulura ) suzukii Yagi & Kamiya, 1981 and Subulura ( Murisubulura ) sipiroki Purwaningsih, 2003 from murids of Japan and Indonesia, respectively [ 12 , 27 ].…”

Two new species of Trichuris (Nematoda: Trichuridae) collected from endemic murines of Indonesia

“…Hasegawa & Syafruddin (1995) examined 29 R. tanezumi (recorded as R. rattus) and 20 R. exulans on Halmahera Island, but could not collect species of Trichuris. In the checklist of murine helminths of Indonesia by Dewi & Purwaningsih (2013), only one record of T. muris from Bunomys chrysocomus, an endemic rat in Sulawesi, was cited. Meanwhile, T. muris has been recorded from commensal murines, i.e., Rattus norvegicus, R. rattus and Mus musculus in Australia (cf.…”

Musserakis sulawesiensis gen. et sp. n. (Nematoda: Heterakidae) collected from Echiothrix centrosa (Rodentia: Muridae), an old endemic rat of Sulawesi, ndonesia

“…(cf. Dewi & Purwaningsih, 2013). Heterakis spumosa was also recorded from old endemic rats, Hydromys chrysogaster and Melomys rufescens of Australia and New Guinea, respectively (Fielding, 1928 cited by Smales & Cribb, 1997;Smales, 2009).…”
