“…The adult worm inhabits the peritoneal cavity of bovine and cervid hosts, causing little or no harm (Urquhart et al 1996). The distribution of S. cervi is reportedly cosmopolitan, but it remains a matter of debate if worms infecting bovines in Asia and those infecting cervids (mainly) in Europe are conspecific (Böhm and Supperer 1955;Shoho 1967;Becklund and Walker 1969). S. cervi (from bovine hosts) is also considered as a suitable model for screening anti-filarial agents (Singhal et al 1972;Nayak et al 2011).…”

The objective of the present study was to examine the phylogenetic position of Setaria cervi based on sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene. A fragment of the cox1 gene from two morphologically identified S. cervi collected from red deer (Cervus elaphus) from Italy were amplified, sequenced, and compared with corresponding sequences of other filarioid nematode species. Phylogenetic studies using Bayesian analysis revealed S. cervi as monophyletic with other Setaria species, confirming S. cervi as a member of the Setaria genus. S. cervi appeared to be sister species to Setaria labiatopapillosa and Setaria digitata. Setaria tundra and Setaria equina, the other two Setaria species presented in the Italian fauna, formed a sister group to the clade consisting of S. cervi, S. labiatopapillosa, and S. digitata. In addition to phylogenetic clarification, our study is the first molecular identification of S. cervi, which may be useful for further molecular identification and differentiation of this filarial worm from other filarioid nematode species, especially in the earlier developmental stages of its life cycle.

“…23 The worms observed in this case, however, were not Setaria spp., because the musculature was polymyarian coelomyarian and not divided into distinct dorsal and ventral fields as is characteristic of filarial worms like Setaria. 2,19 Setaria also lacks the small microvilli that were observed on the intestinal cells. 19 Dictyocaulus viviparus was in the lungs of this heifer, and Ostertagia sp.…”

“…The most common adult filaroidea to be reported as naturally occurring parasites within the equine eye are Setaria species (Schwartz 1927;Ahmed and Gupta 1965;Becklund and Walker 1969;Sahu 1974;Jemelka 1976). Adult Setaria equina are occasionally found inside the anterior chamber of the horse's eye.…”
