(Capillariidae), is described from the intestine of the leopard coral grouper Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède) from coral reefs off New Caledonia. The new species, belonging to the subgenus Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987, differs from other congeneric species of this subgenus from marine fishes mainly in the length (168–186 lm), shape and structure of the spicule. It is characterized, in the male, by the presence of two well-developed dorsolateral caudal lobes, a pair of lateral papillae, a heavily sclerotized spicule with many rough transverse grooves in the middle part, a spinose spicular sheath, and in the female, by eggs measur- ing 60–66 · 27 lm without protruding polar plugs. The buccal cavity contains a small finger-shaped stylet. Capilla- ria plectropomi n. sp. is the first known species of this genus parasitizing fishes of the perciform family Serranidae. Résumé – Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (Nematoda : Capillariidae), un nouveau parasite intestinal de la saumonée Plectropomus leopardus (Serranidae) en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Une nouvelle espèce de nématode, Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. (Capillariidae), est décrite de l’intestin de la saumonée Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepède) des récifs coralliens au large de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. La nouvelle espèce, appartenant au sous-genre Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987, diffère principalement des autres espèces de ce sous-genre qui sont parasites de poissons marins, dans la longueur (168–186 lm), la forme et la structure du spicule. Elle est caractérisée, chez le mâle, par la présence de deux lobes caudaux dorsolatéraux bien développés, une paire de papilles latérales, un spicule fortement sclérifié avec de nombreuses rainures transversales rugueuses dans la partie médiane, une gaine spiculaire épineuse, et chez la femelle par des œufs mesurant 60–66 · 27 lm, sans bouchons polaires saillants. La cavité buccale contient un petit stylet en forme de doigt. Capillaria plectropomi n. sp. est la première espèce connue de ce genre qui est parasite de poissons perciformes de la famille Serranidae. Introduction of these parasites in marine fishes off New Caledonia remains almost unknown, because to date only two nominal The present knowledge of the diversity and biology of capil- species, Pseudocapillaria echenei (Parukhin, 1967) and lariid nematodes (Capillariidae) is fragmentary, especially where P. novaecaledoniensis Moravec & Justine, 2010, are known to species parasitizing marine fishes are concerned.

Correspondence should be sent to: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Eggs and larvae of Huffmanela oleumimica n. sp. infect red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus (Poey, 1860), were collected from the Texas–Louisiana Shelf (28816036.5800 N, 93803051.0800 W) and are herein described using light and scanning electron microscopy. Eggs in skin comprised fields (1–5 3 1–12 mm; 250 eggs/mm2) of variously oriented eggs deposited in dense patches or in scribble-like tracks. Eggs had clear (larvae indistinct, principally vitelline material), amber (developing larvae present) or brown (fully developed larvae present; little, or no, vitelline material) shells and measured 46–54 lm(x¼50; SD 6 1.6; n¼213) long, 23–33 (27 6 1.4; 213) wide, 2–3 (3 6 0.5; 213) in eggshell thickness, 18–25 (21 6 1.1; 213) in vitelline mass width, and 36–42 (39 6 1.1; 213) in vitelline mass length with protruding polar plugs 5–9 (7 6 0.6; 213) long and 5–8 (6 6 0.5; 213) wide. Fully developed larvae were 160–201 (176 6 7.9) long and 7–8 (7 6 0.5) wide, had transverse cuticular ridges, and were emerging from some eggs within and beneath epidermis.

However, the high re-discovery rate of antinematode compounds from terrestrial environments necessitates a new repository for future drug research. Marine epiphytic bacteria are hypothesised to produce nematicidal compounds as a defence against bacterivorous predators, thus representing a promising, yet underexplored source for antinematode drug discovery. The marine epiphytic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tunicata is known to produce a number of bioactive compounds. Screening genomic libraries of P. tunicata against the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans identified a clone (HG8) showing fast-killing activity. However, the molecular, chemical and biological properties of HG8 remain undetermined. A novel Nematode killing protein-1 (Nkp-1) encoded by an uncharacterised gene of HG8 annotated as hp1 was successfully discovered through this project. The Nkp-1 toxicity appears to be nematode-specific, with the protein being highly toxic to nematode larvae but having no impact on nematode eggs.

The amphipods Hyalella cf. azteca (Saussure), Hyalella sp. and Gammarus sp. were successfully infected with larvated eggs of Huffmanela huffmani. After ingestion of eggs of H. huffmani by experimental amphipods, the first-stage larvae hatch from their eggshells and penetrate through the digestive tract to the hemocoel of the amphipod. Within about 5 days in the hemocoel of the experimental amphipods at 22 °C, the larvae presumably attained the second larval stage and were infective for the experimen- tal centrarchid definitive hosts, Lepomis spp. The minimum incubation period before adult nematodes began laying eggs in the swim bladders of the definitive hosts was found to be about 7.5 months at 22 °C. This is the first experimentally completed life cycle within the Huffmanelinae.

One hundred and forty wild boars were caught in 11 different locations in Family Capillariidae Kamishima (n = 36) and Shimoshima (n = 104) in the Amakusa Islands, Japan between January 2016 and April fi Eucoleus gar ai 2018. Lingual tissues were subjected to histological examinations, where helminths and their eggs were observed Sus scrofa leucomystax in the epithelium of 51 samples (36.4%). No significant differences in prevalence were observed according to maturity, sex or capture location. Lingual tissues positive for helminth infection were randomly selected and intact male and female worms were collected for morphological measurements. Based on the host species, site of infection, and morphological details, we identified the parasite as Eucoleus garfiai (Gállego et Mas-Coma, 1975) Moravec, 1982 (syn. Capillaria garfiai). This is the first report from outside Europe of E. garfiai infection in wild boars. Phylogenetic analysis of the parasite using the 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequence confirmed that the parasite grouped with other Eucoleus species, providing additional nucleotide sequence for this genus.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Diversity of Trichinelloidea (Enoplea, Nematoda) in Chile and its implication for human, animal and ecosystemic health. The nematode zooparasites of vertebrate and invertebrate correspond to an aspect of biodiversity which has not been properly evaluated. In Chile, specific research on Trichinelloidea (Order Trichinellida) is scarce. For this reason, a recompilation on the taxa observed in this country was carried out, by means of a bibliographic review. The reported families are Capillariidae Néveu-Lemaire, 1936, with 11 identified species in Mammalia, Aves and Osteichtyes (including Capillaria sp. s. l. in Milvago chimango from the Metropolitan region, recorde here for the first time); Trichinellidae Ward, 1907, with one identified species in Mammalia; Trichuridae Railliet, 1915 with 11 species in Mammalia; and Trichosomoididae Hall, 1916; with one species in Rodentia. There were no records of these parasites associated with Reptilia, Amphibia, Agnatha, Chondrichtyes or to invertebrates, which are hosts recorded for the superfamily in other parts of the world. Involvement of species in this superfamily with human and ecosystemic health is argued, in the context of a debatable and confused taxonomy and identification, together with a scarce knowledge of this group. Therefore, it is considered that more studies on Trichinelloidea and its presence in this country are required.
