          Abstract

          Abstract A new species of Trichostrongyloidea (Nematoda: Heligmonellidae), Hassalstrongylus lauroi n. sp., is described from specimens collected from the small intestine of the rodent Hylaeamys seuanezi in the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil (Igrapiúna, state of Bahia). The genus Hassalstrongylus includes 17 species, which parasitize rodents occurring in the Neotropical and Nearctic regions. It differs from the genus Stilestrongylus through its smaller number of ridges in the synlophe and through the size of the genital cone. The main taxonomic characteristics of this new species are the subsymmetrical caudal bursa of type 2-2-1, ray 8 branching out at the base of the dorsal trunk, right lobe smaller than the left, and rays 4 and 5 of robust nature. In addition, the ornamental ray 5 and the robustness of ray 4 on the male caudal bursa, along with the modification of the ridges of the posterior end of the female, allow us to consider the specimens found to be a new species.

          Resumo Uma nova espécie de Trichostrongyloidea (Nematoda: Heligmonellidae), Hassalstrongylus lauroi n. sp., descrita a partir de espécimes coletados do intestino delgado do roedor Hylaeamys seuanezi na Mata Atlântica do Nordeste do Brasil (Igrapiúna, estado da Bahia). O gênero Hassalstrongylus inclui 17 espécies, que parasitam roedores que ocorrem nas regiões Neotropical e Neártica. Este difere do gênero Stilestrongylus por ter menor número de cristas na sínlofe e pelo tamanho do cone genital. As principais características taxonômicas dessa nova espécie são a bolsa caudal subsimétrica do tipo 2-2-1, raio 8, ramificando-se na base do tronco dorsal, lobo direito menor que o esquerdo e os raios 4 e 5 são robustos. Além disso, o raio 5 é ornamentado na bolsa caudal dos machos, e ocorre uma modificação nas cristas da extremidade posterior da fêmea, que permite considerar os espécimes encontrados como uma espécie nova.

              Helminth communities of Nectomys squamipes naturally infected by the exotic trematode Schistosoma mansoni in southeastern Brazil.

              The water rat Nectomys squamipes is endemic in Brazil and found naturally infected with Schistosoma mansoni. Helminth communities, their prevalences, intensity of infection and abundance in N. squamipes in an endemic area of schistosomiasis in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil were studied. Four species of nematodes (Physaloptera bispiculata, Syphacia venteli, Hassalstrongylus epsilon and Litomosoides chagasfilhoi) were recovered in 85.3%, two trematodes (Schistosoma mansoni and Echinostoma paraensei) in 38.8% and one cestode species (Raillietina sp.) in 1.7% of rats examined. Rats were infected with up to five helminth species each, and these were highly aggregated in distribution. For H. epsilon and S. venteli, intensities and abundances were higher in adult male and subadult female hosts, respectively. Hassaltrongylus epsilon, P. bispiculata, S. venteli and S. mansoni were classified as dominant species, L. chagasfilhoi and E. paraensei as co-dominant and Raillietina sp. as subordinated. No significant correlation was found in the intensity of infecton between each pair of helminth species. Schistosoma mansoni was not related to any other helminth species according to their infection rates, althougth S. mansoni was well established in the natural helminth comunity of the water rat.
