چکیده

The synlophe (longitudinal, surface cuticular ridges) of Sarwaria bubalis is described for the first time. It is a tapering lateral synlophe of about 40 ridges. The synlophe of S. bubalis is similar to that of Ostertagia ostertagi but markedly different from that of species of Spiculopteragia and Mazamastrongylus. New information is provided also on the structure of the esophagus and perivulval pores. The esophageal valve is more than twice as long as wide. The bilateral perivulval pores were located 192-267 microns posterior to the vulva and dorsal to the lateral lines. The new information will be useful in a study of the generic level systematics of the Ostertaginae. Sarwaria bubalis appears to be well established in tropical South America where it infects its normal host, the Asian water buffalo Bubalus bubalis, as well as domestic cattle Bos taurus and mixed breed cattle B. taurus x Bos indicus.

New morphological characters for identifying individual specimens of Haemonchus spp. (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) and a key to species in ruminants of North America.

The large stomach worms Haemonchus contortus, Haemonchus placei, and Haemonchus similis are important pathogens of cattle and sheep. This paper describes characteristics of surface cuticular ridges (synlophe), which for the first time provide morphological criteria for identifying individual adult specimens of either sex. The diagnostic patterns of the synlophe on the anterior half of specimens...

Emended description and redetermination of Sarwaria caballeroi n. comb. (nematoda: Ostertagiinae) with details of the synlophe and esophageal characters.

Among genera of the ostertagiine nematodes, structural attributes of Spiculopteragia caballeroi are consistent with criteria that diagnose the genus Sarwaria. Specifically, the following characters are compatible with referral to this genus: (1) species characterized by monomorphic males; (2) tapering lateral synlophe in the cervical zone; (3) minuscule, thornlike cervical papillae; (4) length ...

A relationship for Pseudostertagia bullosa within the trichostrongyloids has been enigmatic or unresolved. Studies of the synlophe in males and females of P. bullosa revealed a tapering system anterior to the deirids and a pattern of parallel ridges extending to near the caudal extremity in both lateral and median fields. Structurally, the synlophe differs considerably from that seen among the ...
