Torquenema n. g., Wallabicola n. g., and Macropostrongyloides phascolomys n. sp.: New Genera and a New Species of Nematode (Strongylida: Phascolostrongylinae) Parasitic in Australian Macropodid and Vombatid Marsupials.

摘要: The strongyloid nematodes belonging to the subfamily Phascolostrongylinae occur primarily in large intestines of macropodid and vombatid marsupials. Current molecular evidence suggests that two nematode species, Macropostrongyloides dissimilis Paramacropostrongylus toraliformis, from marsupials are distant their respective congeners. Furthermore, specimens lasiorhini southern hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons) common (Vombatus ursinus) genetically distinct. This study aimed describe new genera Torquenema n. g. (with T. toraliforme comb. as type species) eastern grey kangaroo, Wallabicola W. swamp wallaby a species phascolomys sp. wombat, using light scanning electron microscopy.
