Description | Examination of the nasolacrimal sinuses of pine marten (Martes martes), stone marten (M. foina) and polecat (Mustela putorius) from 27 localities in the Czech Republic were carried out. In 1 of the 23 stone martens, 6 nematodes (2 males, 4 females) were found and classified as Skrjabingylus petrowi Bageanov (in Petrov 1941). This is the first finding of S. petrowi in central Europe. The morphometry of the specimens in the present study was in agreement with that of the original description. The distribution of this species in Europe is discussed. |
