Le Gongylonème parasite du Macroscélide Elephantulus rozeti en Tunisie est identifié à l’espèce Gongylonema brevispiculum Seurat, 1914.
Sa larve infestante obtenue expérimentalement diffère de celles des autres Gongylonèmes. Dans le genre Gongylonema quatre types larvaires sont définis d’après la taille et les structures céphaliques et caudales des larves.
Les réactions cellulaires provoquées par la larve de G. brevispiculum au niveau des fibres musculaires de l’Insecte parasité sont comparables à celles observées après l’infestation de larves d’Acuaride.
Abstract
Its larval form obtained from experimentally infected intermediate hosts, differs from those of other Gongylonematids. In the genus Gongylonema four types of larvae were recognized. They are characterized by the size and the cephalic and caudal structures of the larvae.
The cellular reactions caused by the larvae of G. brevispiculum in the insect muscles are similar to those caused by infections with larvae of Acuarid nematodes.
