Stomach nematodes were collected from 151 live American alligators, Alligator mississippiensis, from 3 lakes (Apopka, Griffin, and Woodruff) in north-central Florida using a gastric lavage technique. Four species were identified: Dujardinascaris waltoni, Ortleppascaris antipini, Brevimulticaecum tenuicolle, and larvae of Contracaecum sp. Of these, D. waltoni was the most prevalent species in all 3 lakes and was more prevalent in Lake Apopka than in the other 2 lakes. This is the first record of Contracaecum larvae in the American alligator and the second record of O. antipini.
利用洗胃技术,从佛罗里达州中北部3个湖泊(阿波普卡湖、格里芬湖和伍德拉夫湖)的151只活体美国短吻鳄(密西西比鳄)中采集胃线虫。鉴定出4个物种:沃尔顿杜氏蛔虫、安蒂平奥氏蛔虫、细颈短多盲囊线虫和对盲囊线虫幼虫。其中,沃尔顿杜氏蛔虫在所有3个湖泊中都是最常见的物种,且在阿波普卡湖比在其他2个湖泊中更为常见。这是美国短吻鳄体内对盲囊线虫幼虫的首次记录,也是奥氏蛔虫的第二次记录。
