Potential new species of pseudaliid lung nematode (Metastrongyloidea) from two stranded neonatal orcas (Orcinus orca) characterized by ITS‐2 and COI sequences [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Knowledge about parasite species of orcas, their prevalence, and impact on the health status is scarce. Only two records of lungworm infections in orca exist from male neonatal orcas stranded in Germany and Norway.

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE METASTRONGYLOIDEA (NEMATODA: STRONGYLIDA) INFERRED FROM RIBOSOMAL RNA GENE SEQUENCES [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2003 Phylogenetic relationships among nematodes of the strongylid superfamily Metastrongyloidea were analyzed using partial sequences from the large-subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA) and small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes. Regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, directly sequenced, aligned, and ...
