Nematode parasites of the smooth snake, Coronella austriaca Laurenti, 1768 and the Aesculapian snake, Zamenis longissimus (Laurenti, 1768) (Ophidia: Colubridae), collected from North-Western Turkey
North-Western Journal of Zoology, 2010Co-Authors: Serdar Dusen, Ismail Hakki Ugurtas, Faik Naci AltunelAbstract:In this investigation, 11 Smooth snakes (Coronella austriaca), and 8 Aesculapian snakes (Zamenis longissimus) were collected between 1998 and 2007 from northwestern Turkey and were examined for the first time helminthologically. It was recorded that Coronella austriaca harbored 1 species of Nematoda (Kalicephalus sp.) and one unidentified nematode cyst; Zamenis longissimus, 4 species of Nematoda (Rhabdias fuscovenosa, Oxysomatium brevicaudatum, Kalicephalus sp. and Ophidascaris sp.) and two unidentified cysts. All helminths samples represented new host records for Coronella austriaca and Zamenis longissimus in Turkey. It was also recorded that Turkey is a new locality for Kalicephalus sp. and Ophidascaris sp.

morphological study of Ophidascaris excavata hsu hoeppli 1931 ascaridida ascarididae from gloydius brevicaudus stejneger reptilia viperidae
Systematic Parasitology, 2016Co-Authors: Liang Li, Huixia Chen, Wenting Zhao, Luping ZhangAbstract:Ophidascaris excavata Hsu & Hoeppli, 1931 is a poorly known ascaridid parasite reported from the short-tailed pit viper Gloydius brevicaudus (Stejneger) (Reptilia: Viperidae) in China. In the present paper, the detailed morphology of this nematode was studied using light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based on newly collected material. The results revealed several important, but previously unreported, morphological features, including the presence of one pair of small, finger-like prolongations on each lip, narrow cervical alae beginning well posterior to the base of the ventrolateral lips and the second pair of postcloacal ventro-lateral papillae being double; in addition, there is no intestinal caecum. These supplementary morphological and morphometric data, especially the detailed morphological features obtained herein under SEM, would help us to understand the relationships of O. excavata with its congeners and enable us to diagnose this species more accurately.

An annotated catalogue of the ascaridoid nematode parasites of Chinese vertebrates
Systematic Parasitology, 2016Co-Authors: Liang Li, David I. Gibson, Luping ZhangAbstract:A catalogue, based on both examined specimens and the published literature, of all the ascaridoid nematodes recorded in China is presented. A total of 95 recognised species, representing 26 genera in five families, are reported. Detailed information on the type-host, type-locality, original reference, synonyms, annotated subsequent references of taxonomic importance, other host records, site of infection, location of type-specimens and distribution are listed for each recognised species. Additional comments on the taxonomic status of some species are also given. Moreover, some nomenclatural changes are proposed: (i) Toxascaris selenarctis Wang, 1965 and T. ailuri Wu, He & Hu, 1987 are placed in synonymy with Baylisascaris transfuga (Rudolphi, 1819); (ii) Raphidascaris lophii Wang & Wu, 1991 is a secondary homonym of R. lophii (Wu, 1949) and a replacement name, R. wangi nom. nov., is proposed for the former species; (iii) Aliascaris aetoplatea Luo, 2001 is transferred to Terranova Leiper & Atkinson, 1914, as T. aetoplatea (Luo, 2001) n. comb., and should be considered a species inquirenda; (iv) Ophidascaris orientalis (Wang, 1965) is resurrected as a valid species; (v) Phocascaris longispiculum Wang & Wu, 1991 and Ophidascaris agkistrodontis Wang, 1979 are treated as incertae sedis; and (vi) Hysterothylacium sauridae Li, Xu & Zhang, 2008 is listed as a nomen nudum.

Ophidascaris wangi sp. n. and O. najae (Gedoelst, 1916) (Ascaridida: Ascaridoidea) from snakes in China.
Folia Parasitologica, 2014Co-Authors: Yan-ning Guo, Luping ZhangAbstract:Ophidascaris wangi sp. n. collected from the king rat snake Elaphe carinata (Gunther) (Serpentes: Colubridae) in China is described using both light and scanning electron microscopy. The new species differs from its congeners in the presence of narrow lateral alae originating a short distance posterior to the base of the ventrolateral lips, its relatively long oesophagus (3.57-4.54 mm long, representing 6.6-7.6% of body length), its short spicules (1.89-2.14 mm long, representing 3.9-4.3% of body length), the number and arrangement of caudal papillae (49-57 pairs in total, arranged as follows: 43-51 pairs precloacal, 2 pairs joined paracloacal and 4 pairs postcloacal), the presence of a particular papilliform medioventral, postcloacal ornamentation and the morphology of the eggs and tip of the female tail. In addition, Ophidascaris najae (Gedoelst, 1916), collected from the king cobra Ophiophagus hannah Cantor (Serpentes: Elapidae) in China, is also redescribed. The morphology of the cervical papillae, labial denticles and phasmids of the female is described for the first time.
