New records of three species of nematodes in Cerdocyon thous from the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands

Novos registros de três espécies de nematoides em Cerdocyon thous do Pantanal brasileiro

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

We report the occurrence of nematodes collected from the gut of roadkilled crab-eating foxes (two adult males and one juvenile female), Cerdocyon thous (Linnaeus, 1766), found on the BR 262 highway in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil in 2011. Three helminth species were identified: Ancylostoma buckleyi, Pterygodermatites (Multipectines) pluripectinata, and Ascaridia galli. These nematodes are reported for the first time to infect C. thous from the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands, thereby expanding their geographical distribution.
