| whipworm diversity in west african rodents: a molecular approach and the description of trichuris duplantieri n. sp. (nematoda: trichuridae). | whipworms were collected from rodents (muridae) from six west african countries: burkina-faso, the islamic republic of mauritania, and the republics of benin, guinea, mali and senegal. molecular sequences (its-1, 5.8s and its-2 of the ribosomal dna gene) and morphometric characters were analysed in trichuris (nematoda: trichuridae) specimens found in seven host species: arvicanthis niloticus, gerbilliscus gambianus, gerbillus gerbillus, g. tarabuli, mastomys erythroleucus, m. huberti and m. nata ... | 2017 | 28210845 |
| trichuris spp. (nematoda: trichuridae) from two rodents, mastomys natalensis and gerbilliscus vicinus in tanzania. | during a survey of the helminth community of several rodent species in the morogoro region (tanzania), trichuris whipworms (nematoda: trichuridae) were found in the ceca of the natal multimammate mouse, mastomys natalensis and a gerbil, gerbilliscus vicinus (both rodentia: muridae). the taxonomic literature regarding trichuris from african native rodents describes 10 species, but includes few metric and morphologic characters that discriminate between some of the pairs. the whipworms we sampled ... | 2013 | 23560615 |
