![]() (2012) Two new Gordionus species (Nematomorpha: Gordiida) from the southern Rocky Mountains (USA). We interpret these regions as artifacts caused by the breaking off of the central crowned areoles, leaving only the circumcluster areoles behind.īegay, A.C., Schmidt-Rhaesa, A., Bolek, M.G. Both specimens show arrangements on the cuticle, in which a circle of areoles surrounds a region of “naked” cuticle. ![]() This specimen is described as a new species, C. The other specimen shows a new type of cuticular structure, the areoles, which combines characters of both simple areoles and tubercle areoles. One is determined as Chordodes moutoni, a species known from China, Malaysia and India. Although found at the same location, both species differ in their cuticular structures. We report here two female specimens found on two occasions on a terrace paddy field in Tsupo, Viswema, Kohima, Nagaland, India. ![]() The currently known diversity of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) from India is only 17 species. Nematomorpha, Gordiida, Chordodes combiareolatus, new species, hairworm Abstract DNA sequencing of the Parachordodes worm does not appear on the database therefore, more information on the gene sequences of the genus Parachordodes from humans, animals, or intermediates is required.Zoological Museum and Institute, Biocenter Grindel, Matrin-Luther-King-Platz 3, University of Hamburg, 20146 Hamburg, Germany.ĭepartment of Zoology, Kohima Science College (Autonomous), Jotsoma, Nagaland, 797002, India.ĭepartment of Zoology, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, 793022, India. which has already been reported in humans in Japan. ![]() DNA analysis on 18S rRNA partial sequence arrangements was also carried out and both worms were assumed to be close to the genus Paragordionus based on tree analysis, and far from Gordius sp. (Nematomorpha: Chordodidae) based on the characteristic morphologies of cross sections and areoles in the cuticle. They were identified as Parachordodes sp. ![]() Both worms were males having bifurcated posterior ends and male gonads in cross sectional specimens. Two gordiid worms were collected in the vomit and excreta of an 80-year-old woman in November 2009 in Kyoto city, and in the mouth of 1-year-old boy in December 2009 in Nara city, Japan, respectively. Abstract The present study was performed to describe 2 human cases infected by the horsehair worm, Parachordodes sp., in Japan. ![]()
