Abstract

Abstract. The presence of nymphs of the introduced pentastomid parasite Linguatula serrata is verified in a native Australian animal, the red-necked wallaby (Notamacropus rufogriseus), for the first time. Morphological and genetic analyses confirmed the species identification, with a 100% genetic match to samples collected from various introduced animals from the same location in Kosciuszko National Park. Previous reports of pentastomids, including possible Linguatula sp. infections, in native animals are discussed. More research is required to confirm the validity of these reports.

澳大利亚红颈小袋鼠(Notamacropus rufogriseus)中引进的五舌舌虫舌齿舌虫(Linguatula serrata)的稚虫首次报道

摘要首次在澳大利亚本土动物红颈小袋鼠(Notamacropus rufogriseus)中证实了引入的五舌虫寄生虫serrata Linguatula的雌雄存在。形态学和遗传分析证实了物种鉴定，与从Kosciuszko国家公园同一地点收集的各种引进动物样本的基因100%匹配。本文讨论了在本地动物中报道的五舌虫，包括可能的舌虫感染。需要更多的研究来证实这些报告的有效性。

期刊介绍： Australian Journal of Zoology is an international journal publishing contributions on evolutionary, molecular and comparative zoology. The journal focuses on Australasian fauna but also includes high-quality research from any region that has broader practical or theoretical relevance or that demonstrates a conceptual advance to any aspect of zoology. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, genetics, reproductive biology, developmental biology, parasitology, morphology, behaviour, ecology, zoogeography, systematics and evolution. Australian Journal of Zoology is a valuable resource for professional zoologists, research scientists, resource managers, environmental consultants, students and amateurs interested in any aspect of the scientific study of animals. Australian Journal of Zoology is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
