Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Anisakis (Nematoda: Ascaridoidea) from Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesDiseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2017
Despite Indonesia's high marine biodiversity, there is a lack of information regarding fish parasites in Indonesian waters. During a sampling of 136 teleost species from Indonesian waters, 22 of them were infected with larvae of Anisakis Dujardin, 1845, a genus with zoonotic potential.

Species-specific Real Time-PCR primers/probe systems to identify fish parasites of the genera Anisakis , Pseudoterranova and Hysterothylacium (Nematoda: Ascaridoidea) [PDF]

open access: yesFisheries Research, 2018
Ascaridoid nematodes belonging to the genera Anisakis and Pseudoterranova are heteroxenous parasites, involving marine mammals as definitive hosts in their life-cycles, whereas crustaceans (krill), fish and squids acting as intermediate/paratenic hosts.

Mitogenomic phylogenies suggest the resurrection of the subfamily Porrocaecinae and provide insights into the systematics of the superfamily Ascaridoidea (Nematoda: Ascaridomorpha), with the description of a new species of Porrocaecum [PDF]

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2023
Background The family Toxocaridae is a group of zooparasitic nematodes of veterinary, medical and economic significance. However, the evolutionary relationship of Porrocaecum and Toxocara, both genera currently classified in Toxocaridae, and the ...
