MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF NONADULT CHARACTERS OF COMMON SPECIES OF AMERICAN GORDIIDS (NEMATOMORPHA: GORDIOIDEA) [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2002 The nonadult stages, egg strings, eggs, larvae, and cysts of Gordius robustus, Paragordius varius, and Chordodes morgani are described morphometrically. The goal was to document the differences between species and to evaluate the usefulness of morphometrics in species identification. In concert, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and univariate

Scanning electron microscopy and intraspecific variation of Chordodes festae Camerano, 1897 and C. peraccae (Camerano, 1894) (Nematomorpha: Gordioidea) [PDF]
Systematic Parasitology, 2001 The nematomorph species Chordodes festae Camerano, 1897 and C. peraccae (Camerano, 1894) are redescribed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). C. festae has a cuticle with four different areolar types, the crown areoles being the most noticeable with long spiniform processes.

First record of Gordius sp. (Nematomorpha: Gordioidea) from Balıkesir Province, Turkey
Journal of Research in Veterinary Medicine, 2022 The nematode phylum Nematomorpha contains organisms which are also known as horsehair worms or Gordian worms. We report here a male specimen of Gordian worm from a horse farm in Balıkesir province, Turkey. The body of the specimen was brown in color and the length was about 38 cm.

The Life Cycle of a Horsehair Worm, Gordius robustus (Nematomorpha: Gordioidea)
The Journal of Parasitology, 1999 Aspects of the life cycle of the nematomorph Gordius robustus were investigated. Gordius robustus larvae fed to Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) readily penetrated and subsequently encysted in the posterior portion of the midgut wall. Parasite development was then arrested in each infected beetle.
