Genetic and morphological heterogeneity in small rodent whipworms in southwestern Europe: characterization of Trichuris muris and description of Trichuris arvicolae n. sp. (Nematoda: Trichuridae).

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and morphological variability of whipworms Trichuris Roederer, 1761 (Nematoda: Trichuridae), parasites of small rodents in southwestern Europe, was studied. Isozyme patterns of natural populations of nematodes parasitizing rodent species of the Muridae (Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus flavicollis, Mus musculus) and Arvicolidae (Clethrionomys glareolus, Microtus agrestis, Microtus arvalis) were analyzed at 6...
