Two human cases infected by the horsehair worm, Parachordodes sp. (Nematomorpha: Chordodidae), in Japan. [PDF]
Korean J Parasitol, 2012 The present study was performed to describe 2 human cases infected by the horsehair worm, Parachordodes sp., in Japan. Two gordiid worms were collected in the vomit and excreta of an 80-year-old woman in November 2009 in Kyoto city, and in the mouth of 1-year-old boy in December 2009 in Nara city, Japan, respectively.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2005 The proteome of most parasite species is currently unknown. Hairworms (Nematomorpha), 300 species distributed around the world, are parasitic in arthropods (mainly terrestrial species) when juveniles, but they are free-living in aquatic environments when adult. Most aspects of their systematics and biology are currently unknown.

Dacochordodes bacescui Capuse, 1966: Report of the first two isolations from humans. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis, 1996 This report describes two cases of isolation of Dacochordodes bacescui Capuse, 1966 from human intestinal infections. In the first case, two adult worms were identified in the vomitus of a man suffering from abdominal pain and nausea. In the second case, a worm was passed in the stool of a woman suffering from abdominal pain and pruritus.

Zoosystematica Rossica, 2022 A new nematomorph species, Chordodes guineensis sp. n., is described from Kankan, Guinea. It is distinguished from other Chordodes species in the structures of the areolar layer of cuticle. Presumably, insects of the order Orthoptera are the natural hosts of Ch. guineensis sp. n.
