Two new nematode species of the subfamily Brittonematinae (Dorylaimida: Actinolaimidae)

Abstract. Two new species of actinolaimoid nematodes of the subfamily Brittonematinae are described and illustrated.Actinca marisae sp. n. from Brazil is characterized by the long (on average 2.92 mm) and slender body, 30–32 distinct longitudinalridges on cuticle, narrow head, slender odontostyle, onchial tips facing each other, cylindrus occupying somewhat lessthan one-half of pharynx, broad vulval lips, and by medum long tail. Afractinca eburnea sp. n. from Côte d’Ivoire can bedistinguished by a relatively long body (on average 1.88 mm), thin cuticle provided with 14 longitudinal ridges, cap-like offsetlabial ring, very slender odontostyle, long prerectum, vulva sunk in body contour, and by the elongate-conoid female tail. Mainmorphological structures of Actinca and Afractinca species are summarized. Some comments on further brittonematine speciesare added

Another species of the genus Aporcelinus Andrássy, 2009 (Nematoda: Dorylaimida)

A further new species of the recently established genus Aporcelinus Andrássy, 2009 is presented. Aporcelinus decimus sp. n. from Ecuador can be differentiated from all known species by the shape of the vulval lips and the tail. The former are sclerotized lying parallel with the body axis, the latter is relatively long, rapidly tapered at its middle, and more or less bent dorsally

Two new and a known species of the family Tripylidae (Nematoda: Enoplida) from the tropics.

Two new species of the genus Tripyla and Tripylella, respectively, as well as a known but rare species of the genus Tripylina are described and illustrated. Tripyla pulchella sp. n. from Papua New Guinea belongs to the smallest members of the genus, and is characterized by the narrowed anterior end, the well developed cephalic setae, the sclerotized vulval lips, the medium long, conical tail and the long terminal spinneret. Tripylella iucunda sp. n. from La Réunion is the shortest species within the genus possessing short cephalic setae, discoidal cardia and dorsally abruptly narrowed tail. Tripylina stramenti was found in São Tomé and is redescribed for the first time after the original descriptio

A case of verminous mastitis in a mare

This report describes bilateral mammary gland infection with a previously unidentified Cephalobus species of nematode. Only one previous case of verminous mastitis due to a Cephalobus species has been reported, pre‐dating the widespread use of molecular diagnostics. This report describes the case presentation and management, as well as the morphological and molecular methods of nematode identification
