molecular characterization of thelastomatoidea (nematoda: oxyurida) from cockroaches in australia.	a molecular approach was used to genetically characterize 5 species (aoruroides queenslandensis, blattophila sphaerolaima, cordonicola gibsoni, desmicola ornata and leidynemella fusiformis) belonging to the superfamily thelastomatoidea (nematoda: oxyurida), a group of pinworms that parasitizes terrestrial arthropods. the d3 domain of the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal rna (lsu) was sequenced for individual specimens, and the analysis of the sequence data allowed the genetic relationships of ...	2006	16563200
local climate aridity influences the distribution of thelastomatoid nematodes of the australian giant burrowing cockroach.	in this study, we examined the effects of local climate aridity on the richness and composition of the thelastomatoid (nematoda: oxyurida) guild parasitizing the australian giant burrowing cockroach, macropanesthia rhinoceros (blattodea: geoscapheinae). in total, 9 thelastomatoid species parasitized this cockroach in north-eastern australia (queensland). local observed richness ranged from 3 species (in cooktown, magnetic island, maiden springs and whitsunday island) to 7 species (in rochford sc ...	2007	17445327
