During a study of the helminth fauna of 1,643 rodents trapped along the Mekong River (Thailand, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Cambodia) in 2008–2011, the spirurid nematode Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa, 1961 was recovered with an overall prevalence of 2.8%. Based on the original description, it was identified in nine of 23 different Murinae host species and is here reported for the first time from these three countries. A scanning electron microscopy study provides additional morphological data.
Résumé
Lors de l’étude des helminthes de 1,643 rongeurs, capturés le long du Mékong en Thaïlande, République Démocratique Populaire du Laos et Cambodge entre 2008 et 2011, le nématode Spiruridae Physaloptera ngoci a été détecté avec une prévalence globale de 2.8 %. En accord avec la description originale, P. ngoci a été identifié chez neuf des 23 espèces de Murinae étudiées et est signalé pour la première fois dans ces trois pays. Une étude en microscopie électronique à balayage apporte des nouvelles données morphologiques.
