“…Kalicephalus brachycephalus was found in E. taeniura with a prevalence of 8.3%. This result was not consistent with that of a previous study (Purwaningsih, 2011). Apart from climatic factors, such variations in Kalicephalus prevalences are likely to be due to differences in animal welfare and husbandry practices.…”

Kalicephalus is a genus of strongylid nematodes infecting snakes and causing serious diseases and even death when it is complicated with secondary bacterial infections. The infection of snakes with Kalicephalus has been reported in many countries in the world. However, little information is available on the prevalence of Kalicephalus in snakes in China. In the present study, the prevalence of Kalicephalus in snakes was investigated. The worms were examined, counted and identified to species according to existing keys and descriptions. Three species of Kalicephalus, namely K. indicus, K. bungari and K. brachycephalus, were found in six species of snakes (Elaphe carinata, Zaocys dhumnade, Naja najaatra, Elaphe taeniura, Bungarus multicinctus and Dinodon rufozonatum). The total prevalence of Kalicephalus in snakes in Hunan Province was 39.7%. The most common species was K. indicus, with the highest prevalence 72.8%, followed by K. bungari (24.0%). The prevalence of K. brachycephalus was 0.9%. This is the first report on the prevalence of Kalicephalus species in snakes in China, and the findings have important implications for the control of Kalicephalus infections in snakes in China.

“…Kalicephalus sp. é um helminto da ordem Strongylida, família Diaphanocephalidae, muito comum em serpentes (RATAJ et al, 2011), com aproximadamente 50 espécies relatadas ao redor do mundo (PURWANINGSIH, 2011). Devido ao ciclo de vida simples, a autoinfecção e superinfecção são comuns em serpentes cativas (OKULEWICZ et al, 2014).…”

“…Devido ao ciclo de vida simples, a autoinfecção e superinfecção são comuns em serpentes cativas (OKULEWICZ et al, 2014). Pode causar enterite aguda em serpentes e podem estar associados a infecções bacterianas secundárias (GREGO et al, 2004;PURWANINGSIH, 2011). Neste estudo, ao contrário do observado em serpentes por outros autores, Kalicephalus não compôs o gênero de endoparasito mais observado (FOSTER et al, 2000;RATAJ et al, 2011;SOUZA et al, 2014).…”

“…More than 50 species of Kalicephalus have been identified in a wide range of different species of snake as well as humans throughout the world which do not have any host specificity (Chai et al 2003;Santoro et al 2013;Matt et al 2020). Although this reptile intestinal nematode has been reported from various Asian countries including India (Kavitha et al 2014), the Philippines (Kuzmin et al 2013), Nepal (Pun and Maharjan 2016), China (Liu et al 2017), Republic of Korea (Choe et al 2016), Indonesia (Purwaningsih and Mumpuni 2011), Iraq (Anah et al 2019) and Turkey (Düşen et al 2010), there were no reports of Kalicephalus spp. from Iran.…”

“…Whereas, K. colubri colubrid was reported in a captive mole snake (Pesdudaspis cana) in South Africa, and described its morphological features in detail (Junker et al 2009). Also, K. indicus, K. bungari, and K. assimilis were found in the intestine of three species of Indonesian snakes, Ophiophagus hannah, Ptyas mucosus, and Naja Sputatrix, and their morphological findings were recorded (Purwaningsih and Mumpuni 2011). The findings of these studies were described using light and stereo microscope, while in previous years, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) was also applied to better describe the ultrastructural characteristics of Kalicephalus species.…”

An ancylostomatid Kalicephalus spp. is the common parasitic intestinal nematode of reptiles. West-Asian blunt-nosed viper, a venomous snake found in extensive areas of Iran. Between June - September 2017, two dead viper snakes were referred to the parasitology laboratory and examined for intestinal parasites. Several white elongated roundworms were collected and fixed to identify under light and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) based on morphological and molecular characteristics. For the molecular survey, some parts of identified worms were extracted and the ITS of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) amplified by PCR reaction. All collected hookworms were taxonomically identified as Kalicephalus viperae viperae and exposited in an individual branch far from of Ancylostomatidae species and close to A. braziliense with 88% discrepancies in the phylogenetic tree. The morphological characteristics and a large part of K. viperea viperea rDNA nucleotide sequence was reported in viper snakes for the first time in the world and Iran.
