Using combined morphological, allometric and molecular approaches to identify species of the genus Raillietiella (Pentastomida). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Taxonomic studies of parasites can be severely compromised if the host species affects parasite morphology; an uncritical analysis might recognize multiple taxa simply because of phenotypically plastic responses of parasite morphology to host physiology.

Description of the egg and larva of Raillietiella mottae (Pentastomida: Raillietiellidae) [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2020
In the current study, the structural characteristics of the egg and larva of the pentastomid Raillietiella mottae (Almeida, Freire, & Lopes 2008), are described and compared with those of other pentastomids. The eggs and larvae were obtained from lizards

The mitochondrial genome of the pentastome parasite Raillietiella orientalis Hett, 1915 (Raillietiellida; Raillietiellidae) with notes on its phylogenetic position [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
In this study we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of the invasive reptile parasite Raillietiella orientalis using Illumina DNA sequencing. The length of the mitogenome was 15,320 bp and had a GC content of 33.1%.

Raillietiella mottae (Pentastomida: Raillietiellidae) parasitizing four species of Gekkota lizards (Gekkonidae and Phyllodactylidae) in the Brazilian Caatinga [PDF]

Helminthologia, 2018
We tested the role of sex, size, and mass of the lizards Phyllopezus pollicaris, Gymnodactylus geckoides, Hemidactylus agrius, Lygodactylus klugei, and Hemidactylus brasilianus on the rates of pentastomid infection in the Brazilian Caatinga. We collected

Highly competent native snake hosts extend the range of an introduced parasite beyond its invasive Burmese python host

Ecosphere, 2020
Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) have introduced a nonnative pentastomid parasite (Raillietiella orientalis) to southern Florida that has spilled over to infect native snakes.

First identification of a patent pentastomid pulmonary (Raillietiella orientalis) infection in a captive Meller's chameleon (Trioceros melleri) in Germany [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
A female, zoo-housed, adult Meller's giant one-horned chameleon (Trioceros melleri) showed clinical symptoms including halitosis, obstipation, dysecdysis and shed pentastomid eggs with the faeces.

Host-specific phenotypic variation of a parasite co-introduced with invasive Burmese pythons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus Kuhl, 1820) have introduced a lung parasite, Raillietiella orientalis, (Hett, 1915) from the python's native range in Southeast Asia to its introduced range in Florida, where parasite spillover from pythons to ...
