FIRST RECORD OF THE NEMATODE STEPHANURUS DENTATUS IN FERAL ARTIODACTYLS ON THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Abstract:

Stephanurus dentatus is a nematode endoparasite of swine Sus scrofaand cattle Bos taurus, both of which are feral introduced species in the Galapagos islands. In 2018 in the National Park area of Isabela Island, we collected S. dentatus in different stages of its life cycle in the muscle along the spine and legs and in the kidneys of these feral artiodactyls. The swine and cattle co-occur with other possible hosts, such as goats Capra hircus and giant tortoises Chelonoidis spp. and the possible impact of the parasite on the health of these species is of concern.
