Journal ArticleDOI
Diversification of Cercopithifilaria species (Nematoda: Filarioidea) in Japanese wild ruminants with description of two new species.
TL;DR: The great diversity of Cercopithifilaria species in the two wild ruminants that live in Japan seems to have resulted from local speciation, which occurred during the Pleistocene from a primitive form of the C. longa type derived from Eurasiatic ancestors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexistence of five Cercopithifilaria species in the Japanese rupicaprine bovid, Capricornis crispus.
TL;DR: The Japanese serow, Capricornis crispus, is parasitized by five Cercopithifilaria species, which were related to the primitive forms of the genus, parasites of Bovidae and Cervidae, presently recorded in Africa and Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The new parasite appears to clearly illustrate a major event in the evolution of onchocercids: the host-switching, which might have occurred on the Eurasian continent, where elephantids and the lineage of rupicaprines diversified during the Pliocene-Pleistocene, or in Japan, into which some of these hosts migrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetic relationships among seven Japanese species of Cercopithifilaria.
Takeshi Agatsuma,Moritoshi Iwagami,Shigehiko Uni,Hiroyuki Takaoka,A. Katsumi,Eisaku Kimura,Odile Bain +6 more
TL;DR: DNA sequences from a portion of the mitochondrial COI gene were used to clarify phylogenetic relationships among Japanese species in the genus Cercopithifilaria, and it seems that C. multicauda is the most primitive out of the seven species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cercopithifilaria shohoi n. sp. (Nematoda: Filarioidea) from the relict Bovidae, Capricornis crispus, in Japan.
TL;DR: From its morphological characteristics, C. shohoi n.
