This study reports on the morphology and morphometry of the nematode Cheilospirura hamulosa on the basis of bright-field and scanning electron microscopy. Specimens were recovered after necropsies of 28 Brazilian ring-necked pheasants ( Phasianus colchicus) and 30 domestic chickens ( Gallus g. domesticus) from backyard flocks. Measurements relate to the buccal capsule in the males and the distance of the excretory pore from the anterior end in both sexes, while the vulva and ovijector are studied for the first time. The most important taxonomic characters for the diagnosis of this nematode are the four long, longitudinal cordons which are neither anastomosed nor recurrent. They are composed of a groove with margins formed by cuticular specializations that change in appearance and width backward along the body and which run backward from the cephalic region ending near the posterior end as a cuticular depression. According to their morphology, these cordons could probably have nutritional, attachment and/or sensory functions.

The poultry infections caused by Dispharynx nasuta and Cheilospirura hamulosa nematodes are difficult to be diagnosed by fecal examination because of their egg similarity. In this study, we analyzed DNA sequences of nuclear ribosomal 18S-ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-28S region of D.

Commercial small-scale chicken farms managed as all-in-all-out but operating with low standards of hygiene/biosecurity are increasingly common in Vietnam. These conditions facilitate the transmission of gastrointestinal helminths. However, there are no published data on helminths in these systems.

1. Successful invasion by nematode parasites is associated with several factors including egg hatching at the right time in their hosts. To determine a simple and appropriate medium for culture and egg hatching of the highly pathogenic species of the Acuariidae family, Cheilospirura hamulosa were cultured in three different media.
