Checklist of digenean parasites of wild mammals from Argentina

Abstract

A summary of the literature on the digeneans of wild mammals in Argentina is presented. This is the first compilation of 51 parasitological papers published from 1909 to present. This review includes 26 native species and two introduced species (1 Artiodactyla, 6 Carnivora, 6 Cetacea, 3 Chiroptera, 2 Didelphimorphia, 1 Primate, 8 Rodentia and 1 Lagomorpha) and contains 42 species of adult digeneans belonging to 32 genera and 18 families, of which 9 species (21%) were recorded as new species. The present review provides data on hosts, geographical distribution, site of infection, life cycle, the location of material deposited in Helminthological Collections and references for the parasite species arranged by families. A host/parasite list is also provided. In addition, Gymnoacetabulum n g. is proposed to replaced the genus Suttonia Lunaschi, 2002 (Lecithodendriidae) from bats, which is preoccupied by Suttonia Smith, 1953 (Perciformes, Serranidae).

Cladorchis pyriformis (Diesing, 1838) (Digenea, Cladorchiidae): new rodent host and geographic records in Argentina

“…Thirty families of trematodes have been reported from Rodentia (Feliú et al 2006;Fernandes et al 2015). Until now, seven species of digeneans were reported from Cricetidae in Argentina (Lunaschi and Drago 2007).…”

“…Nearby 50 surveys on digeneans from mammals have been published from wild mammals in Argentina. Only 28 mammals species (7%) grouped into 15 families have been reported to be parasitized by Digenea (Lunaschi and Drago 2007). Among the rodents, only one species of Muridae, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769) and seven of Cricetidae, Akodon azarae (Fischer, 1829), Deltamys kempi Thomas, 1917, Holochilus vulpinus (Brants, 1827, Oxymycterus rufus (Fischer, 1814), Oligoryzomys flavescens (Waterhouse, 1837), Oligoryzomys nigripes (Olfers, 1818), and Scapteromys aquaticus Thomas, 1920, have been reported as hosts of digeneans (Lunaschi and Drago 2007;Navone et al 2009).…”

“…has been recorded harboring 11 nematode species (e.g. Durette-Desset et al 1997;Notarnicola 2005;Notarnicola et al 2010;Digiani et al 2013Digiani et al , 2015Robles et al 2018), and three digenean species, Cladorchis pyriformis (Diesing, 1838), Urotrema scabridum Braum, 1990, and Schistosoma mansoni Sambon, 1907(Sutton and Lunaschi 1990Picot 1992;Lunaschi and Drago 2007;Fernandes et al 2015).…”

Patrones de diversidad de helmintos en roedores sigmodontinos de la Selva Atlántica Interior en Argentina

“…(2010) en el cual se compendian los registros parasitológicos de los roedores distribuidos en la Pampa. Asimismo, Lunaschi y Drago (2007) publican una check list de digeneos de mamíferos de Argentina y mencionan al menos 25 especies presentes en roedores.…”
