Diplotriaena—An Air Sac Nematode Found in a New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)

The presence of air sac nematodes in passerines and near-passerines in southern Germany

“…To our knowledge, these genera differ from each other mainly in their morphology, but little is known on how differently they affect the health of their hosts ( Sonin, 1968 ). Over the years, new cases from these genera (and redocumentations) have been reported in corvids ( Cawthorn and Anderson, 1980 ), starlings ( Fasina et al, 2007 ), honeyeaters ( Gosbell and Luk, 2019 ), kingfishers ( Bronson et al, 2014 ), barbets ( Webster and Speckmann, 1976 ), passerines ( Sonin, 1974 ), and additional species of falcons ( Santoro et al, 2016 ); spanning North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. More recently, there have been efforts to create a database for the molecular sequences of these genera.…”
