Specimens of Ligidium sp. (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea) collected from Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan were found to be infected with parasitic nematodes. We have obtained two Mermithidae (Nematoda) by dissecting the fresh specimen and from the dead specimen of Ligidium, which marks the second known discovery of a mermithid infection in the order Isopoda. Herein, a report on the nuclear 28S rDNA and 18S rDNA sequence of the isolated Mermithidae nematodes and on the morphology of the juveniles is provided.
从日本神奈川县采集的 Ligidium sp. （甲壳纲，等足目，潮虫目）标本被发现感染了寄生线虫。我们通过解剖新鲜标本和 Ligidium 的死标本获得了两种 Mermithidae（线虫），这标志着等足目线虫感染的第二次已知发现。本文提供了分离的 Mermithidae 线虫的核 28S rDNA 和 18S rDNA 序列以及幼虫形态的报告。
