A New Metastrongilid Species (Nematoda: Metastrongylidae): A Lungworm from Akodon montensis (Rodentia: Sigmodontinae) in Brazil

Anatomo-pathological aspects of parasitism by nematodes of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea in wild crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) in Midwestern Brazil

“…in wild animals, such as the jaguarundi (Puma (Herpailurus) yagouaroundi) (VIEIRA et al, 2013), hoary fox (Dusicyon vetulus) (LIMA et al 1994), montane grass mouse (Akodon montensis) (SOUZA et al, 2009), and crab-eating fox (C. thous) (TRAVASSOS 1927;TRAVASSOS & FREITAS 1943;VICENTE et al, 1997;DUARTE et al, 2007). Cases of parasitism by Angiostrongylus spp.…”

First report of Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Nematoda: Metastrongylidae) in Achatina fulica (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Southeast and South Brazil

“…Helminthological surveys of wild rodents in South America have shown that sigmodontine rodents are the primary hosts for Angiostrongylus spp in the following cases: Angiostrongylus lenzii in Akodon montensis (Souza et al 2009), Angiostrongylus morerai in Akodon azarae (Robles et al 2008) and Angiostrongylus costaricensis in Oligoryzomys nigripes and Sooretamys angouya (syn. O. ratticeps) (Graeff-Teixeira et al 1990).…”

A New Genus and Species of Lungworm (Nemata: Metastrongyloidea) from Akodon mollis Thomas, 1894 (Rodentia: Cricetidae) In Peru

“…in the pulmonary vein of ''the painted big-eared mouse,'' Auliscomys pictus, from Casapalca (Lima) (Sarmiento et al, 1999). Until recently, just 2 previously reports of angiostrongylids in rodents from South America were known: Angiostrongylus lenzii in Akodon montensis Thomas, 1913, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Souza et al, 2009), and Angiostrongylus morerai in Akodon azarae (Fischer, 1829) from Buenos Aires, Argentina (Robles et al, 2008); both nematodes were found in the pulmonary arteries of their rodent hosts.…”
