Longistrongylus curvispiculum was recovered from free ranging sable (Hippotragus niger), addax (Addax nasomaculatus) and biesa oryx (Oryx beisa) on two ranches in central Texas (USA). These nematodes represented a small portion of the total abomasal worm burden dominated by Haemonchus contortus. Female L. curvispiculum easily could be confused with other ostertaginae, but the spicules of the males were diagnostic.

An Exploration of Diversity Among the Ostertagiinae (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) in Ungulates from Sub-Saharan Africa with a Proposal for a New Genus
TLDR
The diverse nature of the ostertagiine fauna, with a disproportionate number of endemic genera relative to other regions of the northern hemisphere, may reflect the timing of episodic expansion events for artiodactyls into Africa from Eurasia during the Tertiary and Quaternary.
Hamulonema Gen. Nov. for Teladorsagia hamata and OStertagia kenyensis in the Ostertagiine Fauna (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) From African Ungulates
Hamulonema gen. nov. is proposed for Teladorsagia hamata and Ostertagia kenyensis in the ostertagiine nematode fauna found in artiodactyl hosts from Africa. Monomorphic species representing this…
Synlophe Structure for Species of Longistrongylus (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea), Abomasal Parasites among Ungulates from Sub-Saharan Africa, with Comparisons to the Global Ostertagiine Fauna
TLDR
Among 5 of 6 species examined in the current study, the numbers of ridges in males was equal to or exceeded that observed in females, a pattern seen only in Africanastrongylus among the 15 genera of the Ostertagiinae.
SEROLOGIC AND PARASITOLOGIC SURVEY OF THE ENDANGERED ATTWATER'S PRAIRIE CHICKEN
TLDR
Surveying free-living prairie chickens for helminthic endoparasites and antibody against the etiological agents of nine infectious diseases found evidence of Tmichostrongylus cramae, the first report of this parasite in prairie grouse, and Dispharynx nasuta, a parasite previously associated with disease in other grouse from North America.
Using Fecal Hormonal and Behavioral Analyses to Evaluate the Introduction of Two Sable Antelope at Lincoln Park Zoo
TLDR
Hormonal assays and behavioral analyses indicate that fecal hormone analysis can provide zoo management with valuable information to minimize the risk of aggression, injury, and stress during introductions of nonhuman animals.
