Abstract
The nematode parasites of Australasian macropodoid and vombatoid marsupials (kangaroos, wallabies and wombats) comprise a variety of endemic species, dominated by members of the superfamily Strongyloidea. Thus far, more than 300 species of strongyloid nematodes have been described from the gastrointestinal tracts of macropodoid (kangaroos, wallabies, rat-kangaroos and potoroos) and vombatoid (wombats) marsupials. These nematodes belong to the family Cloacinidae which is subdivided into two subfamilies, the Cloacininae and Phascolostrongylinae. This chapter reviews the historical and current understanding of their morphology, biology, ecology and recent advances in molecular phylogeny. Knowledge gaps in the systematics, phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary origins of the cloacinid nematodes and possible avenues for future research are also discussed.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Parasitology is recognised as a leading review serial which is consistently well placed in terms of impact factor and citations. Major reviews on all aspects of medical, veterinary and wild-life parasitology are considered. The journal provides an outlet for authoritative reviews from experts in the field. While emphasis is given to modern molecular approaches contributions across all disciplines are encouraged including traditional areas such as ecology and taxonomy. Eclectic volumes are supplemented by thematic volumes dedicated to a particular topic of recognised interest and importance.
