“…It is considered that the specimens described herein belong to P. gastrophilus despite apparent differences and that of the accounts based on other than the original material, those of Timon-David (1931) and of Dollfus (1939Dollfus ( , 1957 refer to P. gastrophilus. I have seen specimens from Steno bredanensis collected by Forrester & Robertson (1975) and confirm that they are P. gastrophilus.…”

Photoleter anterouterus Fischthal & Nasir, 1974, from Pelecanus occidentalis Linnaeus and Pelecanus erythrorhynchos Gmelin from Florida, USA and the ventrogenital complexes of Photoleter gastrophilus (Kossack, 1910) from Delphinus delphis Linnaeus from Queensland, Australia and of Phocitrema fusiforme Goto & Ozaki, 1930 from Alopex lagopus (Linnaeus) and Phoca vitulina Linnaeus from Alaska are redescribed. The genus Photoleter Odhner, 1914 is emended and compared with Phocitrema Goto & Ozaki, 1930 and both genera are compared with members of, and as a result transferred from the family Opisthorchiidae Looss, 1899 to, the subfamily Centrocestinae Looss, 1899, family Heterophyidae Odhner, 1914.

The intestine of 52 (28 males and 24 females) striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) from western Mediterranean waters was examined for helminths. Animals were found stranded along the Spanish coasts during the morbillivirus epizootic in 1990. In accordance with observations from other pelagic tetrapods, including cetaceans from other geographical regions, the intestinal helminth community was depauperate. Four helminth species were found: three tetrabothriid cestodes, Tetrabothrius forsteri (prevalence: 96.2%; mean intensity [95% CI]: 47.4 [34.4-68.2]), Trigonocotyle globicephalae (9.6%; 1.8 [1.0-2.2]), and Strobilocephalus triangularis (23.1%; 5.3 [2.9-10.2]), and immature individuals of the acanthocephalan Bolbosoma vasculosum (51.9%; 2.7 [2.0-3.4]). Schluter's variance test indicated a weak, but statistically significant association of occurrence of helminth species in dolphins, suggesting that some tetrabothriid species might use the same intermediate or paratenic hosts. Neither the abundance of helminth species nor infracommunity descriptors were significantly affected by sex, host body length or age. The absence of predictable effects of body size and age on the recruitment rate of helminths could be related to the fact that the host sample was largely composed of adults. This study provides quantitative evidence about helminth community structure of striped dolphins, based on a large sample size.

“…We observed the cestodes Phyllobothrium and Monorhygma in stranded specimens from both Hawaii and Virginia. Trematodes found in S. bredanensis include Campula palliata, Pholeter gastrophilus, Synthesium tursionis, and Braunina cordiformis (Forrester and Robertson 1975;Ott and Danilewicz 1996), and we observed trematodes of the genus Nasitrema. Nematodes reported from S. bredanensis include Anisakis and Crassicauda (Forrester and Robertson 1975).…”

Steno bredanensis (Cetacea: Delphinidae)

Steno bredanensis (Cuvier in Lesson, 1828) is a small odontocete commonly called the rough-toothed dolphin. A slender, gray dolphin with a slightly darker cape, this species is most easily distinguished from other small delphinids by a gradually sloping forehead and a long rostrum. It is the only species in the genus Steno. Despite reports of sightings or stranded specimens from all tropical and subtropical oceans, the species is thought to typically occur in low abundance. The conservation status of S. bredanensis is poorly known.
