New species of Parapharyngodon (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae) parasite of Laudakia stoliczkana (Lacertilia: Agamidae) from Turpan-Hami Basin, China
A new nematode species, Parapharyngodon stoliczkana sp. nov. (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae), is described from the cecum of Laudakia stoliczkana (Agamidae) in China's Turpan-Hami Basin, marking the first documentation of intestinal helminths in this host. Specimens were analyzed via integrative taxonomy, combining morphological (light and scanning electron microscopy) and molecular approaches (18S, 28S rRNA and COI genes). Males exhibited four labial papillae, three pairs of caudal papillae, a single spicule (67.16–77.82 μm), and lateral alae. Females possessed six labial papillae, operculated eggs (150–156 × 37–39 μm), and post-bulbar ovaries. Phylogenetic analyses of concatenated sequences (18S + 28S + COI) placed P. stoliczkana sp. nov. as a sister lineage to P. echinatus + P. micipsae (BPP = 1, BS = 99), with genetic divergences exceeding interspecific thresholds (COI p-distance: 36.34–49.53 %). Infection prevalence was 100 % (8 hosts), mean intensity 360.1 ± 41.2 helminths/host. Morphologically, the species differs from congeners in caudal papillation, spicule length, and ovarian positioning. This study resolves taxonomic ambiguities in Parapharyngodon, provides diagnostic keys, and establishes foundational molecular data for future studies on reptile-parasite coevolution in arid ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife (IJP-PAW) publishes the results of original research on parasites of all wildlife, invertebrate and vertebrate. This includes free-ranging, wild populations, as well as captive wildlife, semi-domesticated species (e.g. reindeer) and farmed populations of recently domesticated or wild-captured species (e.g. cultured fishes). Articles on all aspects of wildlife parasitology are welcomed including taxonomy, biodiversity and distribution, ecology and epidemiology, population biology and host-parasite relationships. The impact of parasites on the health and conservation of wildlife is seen as an important area covered by the journal especially the potential role of environmental factors, for example climate. Also important to the journal is ''one health'' and the nature of interactions between wildlife, people and domestic animals, including disease emergence and zoonoses.
