“…This species has longer proximal teeth in the crotchets when compared to L. hoffmeisteri. Ragi and Jaya (2014) reported that Dero sp. were the most abundant in their study from Kerala, (South India) and a similar situation was also observed during the present survey in most of the district of Tamil Nadu except the cold region of Nilgiri district where tubificid worms were more common.…”

A survey of aquatic Oligochaeta was conducted at Thiruvallur, Chennai, Kanchipuram, Villupuram and Nilgiris districts of Tamil Nadu from October 2015 to June 2016. Eleven taxa were recorded from a total of 922 specimens examined, eight of them were identified to species level. Five naidids identified during the present study: Branchiodrilus semperi, Dero dorsalis, Dero digitata, Dero indica and Dero zeylanica, and six tubificid taxa Branchiura sowerbyi, Tubificidae sp. 1, Tubificidae sp. 2, Tubificidae sp. 3, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and L. udekemianus. Dero dorsalis constitute the first report for Kanchipuram district. A DNA barcode sequence (GenBank accession no. MF125273) of the commercially important Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, commonly known as ‘Tubifex worms’ in Chennai, was obtained and compared with other published COI sequences from that morphospecies from around the world.

“…Sementara itu, Limnodrilus merupakan genus yang telah banyak digunakan sebagai biota indikator perairan. Cacing Limnodrilus telah banyak digunakan dalam monitoring kualitas air (Vivien et al2015), karena sifatnya yang menetap (bentik) dan dapat adaptif terhadap akumulasi bahan organik (Rodriguez & Reynoldson, 2011;Ragi & Jaya, (2014); (Arimoro, Ikomi, & Chukwujindu, 2007) dan anorganik seperti logam berat (Vivien et al, 2020).…”

Sungai Kapuas Kecil merupakan percabangan Sungai Kapuas di bagian hilir yang mengalami berbagai tekanan lingkungan akibat aktivitas di daratan sehingga dapat mengubah kualitas airnya. Kualitas air sungai ini lebih banyak ditentukan dengan menggunakan parameter fisika dan kimia, sementara itu parameter biota bentik masih jarang digunakan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menentukan status kualitas air sungai Kapuas Kecil menggunakan biota bentik makrozoobentos dan perifiton. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan menetapkan stasiun sampling berdasarkan rona lingkungan dan kondisi riparian. Data struktur komunitas biota dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitianberdasarkan indeks komunitas makrozoobentos dan perifiton menunjukkan kualitas air sungai Kapuas Kecil memiliki status cemar ringan sampai sedang dengan kandungan fosfat tinggi.

“…Oligochaete worms, as the second largest group of the Annelida, occur in a wide variety of freshwater environments [1,2]. Within this diverse group, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparède, 1862 (Oligochaeta: Tubificinae), is one of the most common and abundant aquatic oligochaetes [3,4].…”

The infection by Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparède, 1862 (Oligochaeta: Tubificinae) in humans is relatively uncommon. The present report is to describe an incidental human infection with oligochaetes in the nasal cavity of a Chinese man, a 25-year-old man residing in Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province, China presenting with nose bleed, severe itching, continuous sneezing, and rhinorrhea. A lot of oligochaete worms were found in the nasal discharge of the patient. The detected worms were identified as Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri (Annelida: Oligochaeta) based on morphological and molecular characteristics. This incidental L. hoffmeisteri nasal infection is the first case in China and indicates that oligochaete worms can be encountered in humans.
