Two types of third-stage nematode larvae (most of which were encapsulated) were collected from the abdominal cavity and liver of the freshwater fishes Etheostoma fonticola, Etheostoma lepidotum, Cichlasoma cyanoguttatum, Lepomis auritus, Lepomis sp., and Gambusia affinis in Texas and are referred to the genus Falcaustra. This is the first record of Falcaustra larvae from fishes, and their presence may reflect the importance of fishes as paratenic hosts of turtle parasites in this genus.
从德克萨斯州的细纹小鲈、鳞小鲈、蓝点丽体鱼、耳斑太阳鱼、太阳鱼属以及食蚊鱼的腹腔和肝脏中收集到了两种第三阶段的线虫幼虫(其中大部分被包裹),它们被归为Falcaustra属。这是首次记录到鱼类中的Falcaustra属幼虫,它们的存在可能反映出鱼类作为该属龟寄生虫的转续宿主的重要性。
