Description of Males of Parabronema pecariae Ivaschkin, 1960 (Nematoda, Habronematoidea) Parasitizing Peccaries (Mammalia, Tayassuidae) in Brazil
J Júlio Vicente; Luís C Muniz-Pereira; Dely Noronha & Roberto Magalhães Pinto
Abstract
Nematodes studied herein and identified as Parabronema pecariae were collected in 1936 in the States of Rio de Janeiro and Par and in 1940 in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This species was proposed, with basis on female specimens that had been described earlier as Parabronema sp. Although the presence of males of P. pecariae was previously reported in Brazil, their description was not provided. The present paper deals with the first complete morphometric data on male specimens of P. pecariae recovered from peccaries (Pecari tajacu and Tayassu pecari).
