New distribution record, morphological and molecular characterization of Dirofilaria (Nochtiella) tenuis (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) in raccoons (Procyon lotor) from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: genus. Our findings represent the first molecular characterization for this nematode and extend the geographical range of this parasite to Mexico. Further studies are required for a more accurate picture of the epidemiology of this filarioid across Mexico and other areas overlapping the raccoon's range.
