LIFE CYCLE AND PARATENESIS OF AMERICAN GORDIIDS (NEMATOMORPHA: GORDIIDA)
To complete their life cycle, gordiids must make a transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments. However, epibenthic aquatic larvae and their terrestrial definitive hosts do not overlap in habitat. This has led many investigators to suggest that infections are acquired through the ingestion of insects, which become infected as aquatic larvae ...

New hairworm (Nematomorpha, Gordiida) species described from the Arizona Madrean Sky Islands [PDF]
Gordiids, or freshwater hairworms, are members of the phylum Nematomorpha that use terrestrial definitive hosts (arthropods) and live as adults in rivers, lakes, or streams. The genus Paragordius consists of 18 species, one of which was described from the Nearctic in 1851. More than 150 years later, we are describing a second Paragordius species from a

Chordodes ferox, a new record of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha, Gordiida) from South Africa [PDF]
Three females and one male specimen of a previously unconfirmed species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) from South Africa are described using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The females correspond to the description of Chordodes ferox Camerano, 1897, a species previously described from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) and an ...

Going Solo: Discovery of the First Parthenogenetic Gordiid (Nematomorpha: Gordiida)
Despite the severe fitness costs associated with sexual reproduction, its persistence and pervasiveness among multicellular organisms testifies to its intrinsic, short-term advantages. However, the reproductive assurance hypothesis predicts selection favoring asexual reproduction in sparse populations and when mate finding is difficult. Difficulties in

On the recovery of horsehair worms, Gordius sp. (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) from pork in Shillong, India [PDF]
The members of the phylum Nematomorpha, called as horsehair or gordian worms, are the parasites of arthropods and emerge from their host for reproduction and early development in water. There are about 360 species of nematomorphs described till date. Although, horsehair worms are parasites of arthropod species, sporadic cases of their occurrence have ...

Sensitivity of preparasitic stages of Chordodes nobilii (Gordiida, Nematomorpha) to malathion
The largest part of the life cycle of Gordiida, known as horsehair worms, occurs in aquatic environments usually affected by agricultural activities. The free-living adults reproduce in freshwater environments, where preparasitic larvae undergo development. Since malathion is an insecticide used in the distribution area of Chordodes nobilii, the aim of
