Parasitisme des Mustélidés parSkrjabingylus petrovi :Premier rapport en Europe occidentale

Presence of Skrjabingylus petrowi (Nematoda) in central Europe

“…So far, the only known exception to the otherwise correctly defined groups of hosts of European species of the genus Skrjabingylus is the polecat (M. putorius). Ge´rard and Barrat (1986) demonstrated a very low rate of infection of S. nasicola in this host, and they detected the presence of S. petrowi in one case only. The information on the occurrence (prevalence 8.2%) of S. nasicola in otter (Lutra lutra) (Anisimova 2002) is also very interesting and should be revisited.…”

“…Three of these species that parasitise carnivores in the Palaearctic region differ markedly in the length of spicules and some other attributes: S. petrowi (length of spicules 0.410-0.605 mm), S. nasicola (0.150-0.270 mm) and S. ryjikovi (1.296 mm) (Petrov 1941;Kontrimavichus 1961Kontrimavichus , 1969Lancaster and Crichton 1972;Van Soest et al 1972;Ge´rard and Barrat 1986). Also the nematodes that we found in the nasolacrimal sinuses of the stone marten agreed morphometrically with the redescription of S. petrowi according to Kontrimavichus (1969) and Ge´rard and Barrat (1986). As stated in Hansson (1968) and Kontrimavichus (1969), the distribution of Skrjabingylus spp.…”

“…In northern Europe, S. petrowi has been found in Sweden (Hansson 1968) and in France (Ge´rard and Barrat 1986). In the Far East (Chabarovsk region), the genus Skrjabingylus is represented (Kontrimavichus 1969) by the species S. ryjikovi parasitising the yellow-throated marten (M. flavigula).…”

“…Data about the occurrence of S. petrowi Bageanov (in Petrov 1941) parasitising species of the genus Martes (Carnivora: Mustelidae) have been limited, until recently, to the territory of the European part of the former USSR (Kontrimavichus 1969, Kozlov 1977. To date, the only information about the presence of S. petrowi in Sweden has been provided by Hansson (1968), while Ge´rard and Barrat (1986) described a case from France. This report presents the first data about the occurrence of S. petrowi in central Europe.…”

Evidence of Troglotrema acutum and Skrjabingylus sp. coinfection in a polecat from Lower Austria

“…Torres et al, 2006). However S. petrowi (with species of the genus Martes as main hosts) was rarely observed in one case within the genus Mustela too (Gerard & Barrat, 1986). Several authors state that, depending on the shape and size of the holes in the skull, a differentiation between T. acutum and Skrjabingylus sp.…”
