Abstract
- Four species of previously known nematodes from the family Camallanidae were found from different hosts in South Africa: Batrachocamallanus xenopodis from the frog Xenopus muelleri, Paracamallanus cyathopharynx and Procamallanus pseudolaeviconchus from the catfish Clarias gariepinus and Spirocamallanus daleneae from the catfish Synodontis zambezensis. In the material collected from various marine fishes, several specimens of nematodes from the genus Camallanus clearly differed from all previously known species. Based on morphological differences these specimens are assigned to a new species, C. sodwanaensis. Molecular data of 18S and 28S rDNA and COI sequences are provided for the collected species and a phylogenetic analyses based on 28S gene fragmets are presented.<br />Graphical abstract Image 1<br />Highlights • Five species of Camallanidae nematodes found from different hosts in South Africa. • Camallanus sodwanaensis n. sp. is the first species from marine fish in Southern Africa. • Molecular data of 18S and 28SrDNA and COI sequences provided for found species. • Phylogenetic analyses based on 28S gene fragmets is performed.
