More than a hundred species of mammals, birds, and reptiles are infected by nematodes of the genus worldwide. Although, spp. are widely distributed in neighboring countries including Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iran, no study was conducted in Armenia since 1980's.
In 2017-2018, five muscle samples belonging to Armenian lynx, otter, wild boar, fox and wolf were tested for spp. and recovered larvae were identified by multiplex PCR technique.
Twenty-six larvae/gram and one larva/gram were found in lynx and fox samples respectively. They were identified as .
So far only two species were identified in Armenia, and , and this is the first time that is reported in Armenia.
全球范围内，超过一百种哺乳动物、鸟类和爬行动物受到该属线虫的感染。尽管该线虫在包括格鲁吉亚、阿塞拜疆、土耳其和伊朗在内的周边国家广泛分布，但自20世纪80年代以来，亚美尼亚尚未开展相关研究。
2017年至2018年，对亚美尼亚猞猁、水獭、野猪、狐狸和狼的五份肌肉样本进行该线虫检测，并通过多重聚合酶链反应技术对回收的幼虫进行鉴定。
在猞猁和狐狸样本中分别发现每克26条幼虫和每克1条幼虫。它们被鉴定为该线虫。
到目前为止，亚美尼亚仅鉴定出两种该线虫，即[线虫名1]和[线虫名2]，这是亚美尼亚首次报告[线虫名2]。
