Hypodontus macropi Mönnig, 1929, a hookworm-like parasite of macropodid marsupials.

Hypodontus macropi Mönnig, 1929, is redescribed and its taxonomic affinities discussed. H. macropi is recorded for the first time from Wallabia bicolor, Macropus robustus, M. fuliginosus, M. dorsalis, M. agilis and Thylogale billardierii. The method of attachment of the parasite and gross and histopathological changes associated with it are described. Free living larval stages are described. Experimental infestations were attempted but were not successful. Hypodontus thetidis Johnston and Mawson, 1939, is made a synonym of H. macropi.

Species of Cloacina Linstow, 1898 (Nematoda: Strongyloidea) from the black-tailed wallaby, Wallabia bicolor (Desmarest, 1804) from eastern Australia.

Species of Cloacina Linstow, 1898 (Nematoda: Strongyloidea) are reported and/or described from the stomach of the macropodid marsupial Wallabia bicolor (Desmarest, 1804) collected in eastern Australia. Nematodes were examined from 26 hosts collected in 3 states and the number of species of Cloacina in any one host was 2--7. The following species were encountered: C. wallabiae Johnston and Mawson, 1939, C. gallardi Johnston and Mawson, 1940, C. edwardsi Mawson, 1972 and C. cornuta (Davey and Wood, 1938) the last named constituting a new host record. The following new species are described: C. mawsonae sp. nov., C. papillata sp. nov., C. annulata sp. nov., C. castor sp. nov. and C. pollux sp. nov.

Cholangitis associated with species of Progamotaenia (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) in the bile ducts of marsupials.

Gross and histopathologic changes due to infection with Progamotaenia festiva and P. effigia in the bile ducts of the marsupials, Macropus rufus, M. giganteus, M. fuliginosus, Lagorchestes conspicillatus, Vombatus ursinus and Lasiorhinus latifrons are described. The integrity of the bile duct mucosa was not impaired but varying degrees of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa and mucosal glands, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis were found. Portal fibrosis was the prominent reaction in Lasiorhinus latifrons. Reduced prevalence of cestode infection was recorded in two populations of M. giganteus in which Fasciola hepatica also was recovered.

Animals↗

Progamotaenia ruficola sp. n. (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae) from the red kangaroo, Macropus rufus (Marsupialia).

Progamotaenia ruficola sp. n. is described from the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) from New South Wales, Australia. It is distinguished from other similar species having paired, nondiverticulate uteri in each prolottis: Progamotaenia festiva (Rudolphi 1819), P. diaphana (Zschokke 1907), and P. macropodis Beveridge 1976, by the extremely broad, straight-edged velum, the lack of an external seminal vesicle, the cirrus armature, the number of testes, the lack of vaginal atrophy following insemination, and the morphology of the egg.

Animals↗

Corollostrongylus hypsiprymnodontis gen. et sp. n. (Nematoda: Strongylidae) from the rat-kangaroo, Hypsiprymnodon moschatus (Marsupialia).

Corollostrongylus hypsiprymnodontis (Nematoda: Strongylidae) is described from the intestine of the Musk rat-kangaroo, Hypsiprymnodon moschatus Ramsay 1876, from Atherton, Queensland, Australia. The new genus is distinguished from other genera of the Strongylidae by the dorsal deviation of the head, the oval mouth opening, and the dorsal ray which given off 2 small lateral branches before dividing into 2 long parallel rays.

On two new linstowiid cestodes from Australian dasyurid marsupials.

Two new species of the genus Oochoristica Lühe, 1898 from Australian dasyurid marsupials are described and their affinities discussed. The new species are O. antechini sp. nov. from Antechinus macdonnellensis and O. eremophlia sp. nov. from Antechinus rosamondae.

The identification of Taenia species from Australian carnivores.

An investigation into the reliability of various morphological criteria in differentiating species of Taenia in Australia showed that both the anatomy of the mature proglottis and the gross morphology of the worms were reliable methods if suitably relaxed anf fixed specimens were available. Measurements of rostellar hoods were useful but did not provide unequivocal identification due to overlap in sizes; urine branch numbers were found to be of little use.

Animals↗

Acuariid, capillariid and hymenolepidid parasites of the dasyurid marsupial Antechinus stuartii Macleay, 1841, from southeastern Australia.

Stammerinema suffodiax sp. n. is described from the dasyurid marsupial Antechinus stuartii. It differs from S. soricis, the only other member of the genus, in lacking lateral body spines, as well as in the spicules and characters of the anterior extremity. As well as redescribing Synhimantus australiensis (Johnston and Mawson, 1952) now collected from the stomach of A. stuartii, a new capillariid, Capillaria rickardi from the stomach and two cestodes Hymenolepis aklei sp. n. and H. bradleyi sp. n. are described from the same host.

[Redescription of Onchocerca gibsoni C. et J., 1910 (author's transl)].

O. gibsoni is redescribed; the hypoderma and the musculature of the female body are studied on transversal sections and compared to several other species of Onchocerca. These structures and the general morphology show the autonomy of a small line of asiatic and african Onchocerca of Bovines (O. gibsoni, O. dukei, O. ochengi and, probably, the other nodular Onchocerca of Bovinae), to which the human parasite, O. volvulus, belongs. The presence of O. gibsoni in Africa is doubtful.
