Elaphostrongylus is a genus of parasitic nematodes in the family Protostrongylidae. [2]
Species
- Elaphostrongylus cervi Cameron, 1931
- Elaphostrongylus panticola Lubinov, 1945
- Elaphostrongylus rangiferi Mitskevich, 1958
- Elaphostrongylus alces Steen et al., 1989
Life cycle
Intermediate hosts of Elaphostrongylus spp. are terrestrial gastropods and they include:
- Limax cinereoniger [2]
- Malacolimax tenellus [2]
- Succinea spp. [2]
- Vitrina pellucida [2]
- Zonitoides nitidus [2]
Experimental hosts of Elaphostrongylus spp. can also be freshwater snails. [2] For example Lymnaea stagnalis has been experimentally infected with Elaphostrongylus rangiferi. [3]
Elaphostrongylus spp. causes cerebral nematodiasis. [2] Definitive host include Cervidae: moose Alces alces, [2] Cervus elaphus and reindeer Rangifer tarandus.
