A description of Elaphostrongylus alces n. sp., a parasite of moose (Alces alces L.), is given. The main features differing E. alces n. sp. from the other two investigated species are the bottle shaped oesophagus and the oval bursa, which is about 150 µm ⨉ 200 µm.
E. rangiferi Mitskevith, 1960, a parasite of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) and E. cervi Cameron, 1931, a parasite of red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) have both a club shaped or cylindrical oesophagus and a circular bursa. The bursa of E. rangiferi is about 160 µm in diameter, and the bursa of E. cervi is about 190 µm.
Each species has been found only in its normal host.
Résumé
Elaphostrongylus alces n. sp. parasite de l’Élan, a, surtout chez les femelles, un œsophage en forme de bouteille, la jonction musculo-glandulaire étant marquée par un brusque élargissement. La bourse caudale est ovalaire (environ 150 µm de haut et 200 µm de large).
E. rangiferi Mitskevitch, 1960, parasite du Renne et E. cervi Cameron, 1931, parasite du Cerf, ont un œsophage claviforme ou cylindrique et une bourse caudale arrondie. Celle de rangiferi a environ 160 µm de diamètre, celle de cervi environ 190 µm.
Chacune des trois espèces n’a été trouvée que chez son hôte particulier.
