Abstract

Faunistic and morphological study of Physaloptera sibirica PETROW et GORBUNOW, 1931 (Nematoda: Physalopteridae), a nematode isolated in Spain from three mammal species: red fox, Vulpes vulpes (LINNAEUS, 1758) (Carnivora: Canidae), eurasian badger, Meles meles (LINNAEUS, 1758) (Carnivora: Mustelidae), and garden dormouse, Eliomys quercinus (LINNAEUS, 1766) (Rodentia: Myoxidae) in the Iberian Peninsula.
