A further sibling species of Rhabditis (Pelodera) strongyloides (Nematoda) : Rhabditis (P.) cutanea n. sp. from the skin of wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rhabditis cutanea n. sp., a new larval-parasitic species from the skin of Apodemus sylvaticus, is described. Cross-mating experiments revealed isolation from R. nidicolis Sudhaus & Schulte, 1986, R. orbitalis Sudhaus & Schulte, 1986, and R. strongyloides (Schneider, 1860). There are two modifications of third stage larvae named " dauerlarva " and infective larva ". It is hypothesized that the life-cycle will be completed in the nesting material of Apodemus spp. A diagnostic key is presented for the group of six nematode species resembling R. strongyloides.

BACKGROUND Pelodera (Rhabditis) strongyloides is a small saprophytic nematode that lives in decaying organic matter. On rare occasions, it can invade the mammalian skin, causing a pruritic, erythematous, alopecic and crusting dermatitis on skin sites that come into contact with the ground. Diagnosis of the disease is based on case history (a dog living outdoors on damp straw bedding) with chara...

We have investigated the molecular evolution of the nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal RNA genes (18S rDNA) from a set of nematodes in the family Rhabditidae (Nematoda: Secernentea). Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of this gene for molecular systematics of this family, as well as to establish phylogenetic relationships within a group that has potential for comparative studies of the r...

We report a case of parasitism by Rhabditis sp in a five-month-old child, from Goiás State, Brazil. He had a history of diarrhea with liquid and green faeces which later became bloody. Parasitological examination revealed the presence of larvae and adult female of Rhabditis sp. We used thiabendazole in this case after which the child improved. The authors suggest a better differential diagnosti...

Helminth parasites were studied in the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus, in southern England in September of each of four successive years (1994-1997). Nine species of helminths were recorded: five nematodes (Heligmosomoides polygyrus, Syphacia stroma, Pelodera strongyloides, Trichuris muris, Capillaria murissylvatici), two cestodes (Microsomacanthus crenata, Taenia taeniaeformis) and two tremat...
