Description of two new species of Nippostrongylinae (Nematoda, Trichostrongylina, Heligmosomoidea) coparasites in Arvicanthis ansorgei (Muridae) from Cameroon
In the small intestine of a single Arvicanthis ansorgei from Cameroon, two new species of Nippostrongylinae were found: Neoheligmonella zera n. sp. and Heligmonina camerounensis n. sp. N. zera belongs to the Neoheligmonella species in which the right dorsal ridge is poorly developed. Among these spe...

In the small intestine of a single Arvicanthis ansorgei from Cameroon, two new species of Nippostrongylinae were found: Neoheligmonella zera n. sp. and Heligmonina camerounensis n. sp. N. zera belongs to the Neoheligmonella species in which the right dorsal ridge is poorly developed. Among these species, N. bainae (Durette-Desset, 1970), a parasite of Steatomys opinus from Burkina Fasso, is a closely related species. It is differentiated by the presence of vulvar alae, the ratio uterus length/body length and the separation of rays 2 and 3 at two thirds of their length. N. zera is also closely related to N. kenyae (Yeh, 1958) a parasite of Rattus rattus kijabius from Kenya by the pattern of the caudal bursa and the ratio spicules length/body length.
