چکیده

Species of Trichuris have a cosmopolitan distribution and parasitize a broad range of mammalian hosts. Although, the prevalence and intensity of this genus depends on many factors, the life cycles and characteristics of the environment have been the main aspect used to explain their geographical distribution. In this paper, we provide new host and geographical records for the species of Trichuris from Sigmodontinae rodents in Argentina. Moreover, we present comprehensive data about previous records of the genus from rodents in North and South America, and mainly in Argentina. A total of 563 specimens including in 25 species of rodents from 12 provinces and 43 localities from Northeast and Southern Argentina were sampled for Trichuris. Six species of Trichuris including 9 new hosts and 16 new geographical records were found. The prevalence of Trichuris in Misiones province is higher than in other geographical areas studied. This tropical-subtropical nematode group is recorded for the first time from the latitude 40o S. Nevertheless, more surveys are necessary to determine whether the scarcity of infections of Trichuris in regions of high latitude is due to the absence of sample effort or to environmental effects on the survival of infective stages. RESUMEN. Nuevos registros hospedatorios y de distribución geográfica de especies de Trichuris (Nematoda: Trichuriidae) de roedores de Argentina con un resumen actualizado de los registros en América. Las especies de Trichuris presentan una distribución cosmopolita y parasitan un amplio rango de hospedadores mamíferos. Aunque la prevalencia e intensidad parasitaria de estos nematodes dependen de diferentes factores, su ciclo de vida y las características del ambiente han sido los principales aspectos que explican su distribución geográfica. En este trabajo se brindan nuevos hospedadores y registros geográficos para las especies de Trichuris de roedores Sigmodontinae para la Argentina. Además, se presentan datos completos y organizados sobre previos registros del género en roedores del continente americano, y principalmente de Argentina. Un total de 563 especímenes incluidos en 25 especies de roedores procedentes de 12 provincias y 43 localidades del noreste y del sur de la Argentina fueron examinados con el fin de hallar especímenes de Trichuris. Se presentan seis especies de Trichuris incluyendo 9 nuevos hospedadores y 16 nuevos registros geográficos. La prevalencia de Trichuris en la provincia de Misiones es más alta que en otras áreas geográficas estudiadas. Este grupo de nematodes tropical-subtropical es registrado por primera vez por sobre los 40o S. De todos modos, son necesarios nuevos estudios para explicar si la escasez de infecciones de Trichuris en regiones de altas latitudes es debido a la ausencia de esfuerzo de muestreo o al resultado del efecto del ambiente sobre la supervivencia del estadio infectivo.
