Calling Behavior of MaleAcheta domesticusCrickets Infected withParagordius varius(Nematomorpha: Gordiida)

Journal of Parasitology, 2015
It is well established that parasites in the phylum Nematomorpha induce suicide behavior of their insect hosts to bring adult worms to the appropriate habitat for emergence. It is not well established, however, whether other nematomorph-induced behavioral alterations occur before worm emergence.

Hairworms found in Scottish agricultural land, with descriptions of two new species of Gordionus Muller (Nematomorpha: Gordiidae)

Journal of Natural History, 1999
Three species of Nematomorpha were found in a survey of the ground beetles of Scottish agricultural land, Gordionus violaceus (Baird) and two undescribed new species, G. linourgos sp. nov. and G. diligens sp. nov. The morphology of all three species is studied with the aid of SEM, and the characteristics of the cuticle and the male terminal lobes ...

Hyperparasitism by Paragordius varius (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) Larva of Monostome Redia (Trematoda: Digenea)

Journal of Parasitology, 2009
Gordiid larvae enter and encyst within a large variety of aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates. Cysts of a single species of gordiid have been found in such diverse hosts as insect larvae, snails, crustaceans, fish, and many others. One particularly surprising host report was made nearly 100 yr ago, i.e., cysts within adult trematodes.

Spanning the gap: experimental determination of paratenic host specificity of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha: Gordiida)

Invertebrate Biology, 2003
Abstract. Details of the life cycle of freshwater nematomorphs (gordiids) remain unclear. Free‐living aquatic larval gordiids must make a critical transition from an epibenthic aquatic environment to terrestrial hosts. In order to identify potential hosts capable of bridging this ecological gap, the specificity of paratenic hosts of three common ...

Validation test with embryonic and larval stages of Chordodes nobilii (Gordiida, Nematomorpha): Sensitivity to three reference toxicants

Chemosphere, 2010
Chordodes nobilii is a parasite whose pre- and postparasitic stages are found in different types of freshwater bodies. Due to the peculiarities of its life cycle, it acts as a link between freshwater bodies and terrestrial ecosystems. There is little toxicological information on the group Gordiida. It is only known that embryos and larvae of C. nobilii

Horsehair worm,Paragordius varius(Nematomorpha: Gordiida): New to the Fauna of Oklahoma

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2013
Abstract During July 2011, collections of several freshwater horsehair worms were made at two sites (Mud and Salt creeks) in McCurtain County, Oklahoma. The specimens were subsequently identified as Paragordius varius (Leidy, 1851), which represents a new nematomorph for the state.

One new species and a new record of the genus ChordodesĀ (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) from North-East India

Zootaxa, 2013
Fifteen species of freshwater Nematomorpha have been described from India, five of which belong to the genus Chordodes. This paper describes one new species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha): Chordodes lasuboni and a new record, C. moutoni from North-East India, which raises the total number of described species from India to 17.

Parasitism of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) by a New Species of Hairworm (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) in Arctic Canada

Journal of Parasitology, 2016
The host-parasite associations between ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and hairworms (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) collected from the Arctic (an understudied and ecologically important region) is described. Carabids and their parasites were collected from 12 sites spanning the 3 northernmost ecoclimatic zones of Canada (north boreal, subarctic, and ...

Description of Gordius attoni sp.n. (Nematomorpha, Gordiidae) from Northern Canada

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1980
Gordius attoni sp.n. (Nematomorpha, Gordiidae) is described using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and conventional methods. The presence of white spots, the postcloacal crescent on the male caudal end, and the shallow interareolar furrows devoid of pores and bristles as seen in SEM are characteristic of the genus Gordius.

Gordionus maori (Nematomorpha: Gordiida), a new species of horsehair worm from New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 2017
ABSTRACTOnly four species of freshwater Nematomorpha (Gordiida) and one undetermined Gordius sp. are known from New Zealand. During recent surveys in the South Island we discovered a new species belonging to the genus Gordionus, a genus new to New Zealand. Scanning electron microscopic observations of seven collected specimens revealed that the species
