Tongue worm (subclass: Pentastomida) infection and treatment in two domesticated reptiles – A case report [PDF]
Parasitology International, 2022 journal articleTongue worms (Subclass: Pentastomida) are endoparasites found in carnivorous reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. Several pentastomids cause pentastomiasis, a zoonotic disease.

Biological relationships of the pentastomida; a bibliography on the pentastomida
Experimental Parasitology, 1969Abstract The Pentastomida constitute an aberrant group of helminths which, like the onycophora, have lost most affinities to other major classes. Superficial acarin resemblances are thought to reflect larval adaptations only. Modern studies suggest that the pentastomes share both arthropod and annelid characters but that one cannot justify assigning ...

Further spermatological evidence for including the pentastomida (tongue worms) in the Crustacea
International Journal for Parasitology, 1992 The ultrastructure of the spermatozoa of three species of the Pentastomida is investigated: the cephalobaenids Raillietiella sp. and Cephalobaena tetrapoda, and the porocephalid Porocephalus crotali.

Abstract Pentastomids, or tongue worms, bear close relationships to Branchiura, although their body plan more resembles that of a worm. Sperm morphology as well as molecular sequences firmly ally them to the fish lice. Tongue worms are endoparasites in the respiratory systems of tetrapod vertebrates. Tongue worms lack special circulatory,

Phylogenetic position of the Pentastomida and (pan)crustacean relationships [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Series B, Biological Sciences, 2004 Pentastomids are a small group of vermiform animals with unique morphology and parasitic lifestyle. They are generally recognized as being related to the Arthropoda; however, the nature of this relationship is controversial. We have determined the complete sequence of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of the pentastomid Armillifer armillatus and complete ...

A Cladistic Approach to Relationships in Pentastomida
Journal of Parasitology, 1999The positioning of the Pentastomida among the Metazoa has provoked many debates up to the present. On the other hand, the internal relationships among the pentastomid subgroups have received much less attention in the past. We provide the first phylogenetic analyses under Hennigian principles.

Host-Parasite Relations in Some Pentastomida
The Journal of Parasitology, 1967Pentastomida generally considered to reach adulthood in the respiratory systems of reptiles may attain precocious development in some of these definitive hosts. Sexually mature Kiricephalus pattoni and Porocephalus crotali have been recovered from serous cavities and tissues.

Armillifer brumpti (PENTASTOMIDA) IN A BOA IN CANADA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1973A tree boa (Sanzania Madagascariensis) developed a fatal respiratory disease 3 months after importation from Madagascar. Twelve adult pentastomids, Armillifer brumpti Giglioli 1922, and numerous pentastomid ova were found in the lung and air sac. Chronic irritation of the lung by the parasite and a bacterial infection probably caused death.

Investigation of the intestinal spherocrystals of different Cephalobaenida (Pentastomida)
Parasitology Research, 1994The midgut cells of cephalobaenid pentastomids contain spherocrystals varying in size and appearance between the genera. Iron was detected in the vicinity of the crystals in all three genera, being considerably fainter in Reighardia sternae than in the other species. Ultrastructurally a distinct lamination of the spherocrystals was evident, being faint
