Development of Nematodirus spathiger (Nematoda, Molineoidea) in the rabbit and comparison with other Nematodirus spp parasites of ruminants
Abstract
The morphogenesis and chronology of the life cycle of Nematodirus spathiger (Railliet, 1896), a parasite of ruminants, were studied in detail in an experimental host. Twenty-four worm-free rabbits were each infected per os with N. spathiger larvae and were killed at 12 h after infection (12 HAI) and every day from 1 DAI to 23 DAI. By 12 HAI, all the larvae were exsheathed and present in the small intestine. The third moult occurred between 4 DAI and 5 DAI. The last moult occurred between 13 DAI and 16 DAI. The prepatent period lasted 21-24 days. The distribution of N. spathiger along the small intestine of the rabbit was assessed. The chronology of the life cycles was compared for various Nematodirus spp from ruminants in their natural hosts and in the rabbit (N. battus, N. spathiger).
