Resumen
El objetivo del trabajo fue reportar aspectos morfológicos del nematodo Dicheilonema rheae Owen 1843, documentados por microscopía óptica y electrónica, constituyendo la primera cita en Argentina para este parásito. Los especímenes de D. rheae (n=37) fueron colectados de 4 ñandúes provenientes de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, tres de ellos silvestres y uno de criadero. Los helmintos fueron conservados en solución de Railliet & Henry, medidos y microfotografiados. Los parásitos revelaron marcado dimorfismo sexual: los machos (n=20) midieron 18,24±3,61 cm y las hembras (n=17) 66,24±16,40 cm. Los machos mostraron una extremidad posterior curvada ventralmente, con alas caudales bien desarrolladas y papilas alargadas con espículas desiguales. La vulva de las hembras estaba ubicada en la región esofágica. La abertura oral se encontró rodeada por espesamientos cuticulares. Debajo de la boca se encontraron cuatro pares de papilas circulares. Los huevos, de cáscara gruesa, se presentaron larvados.
The objective of the trial was to report morphological aspects of the nematode Dicheilonema rheae Owen 1843, documented by optic and electronic microscopy, constituting the first reference for this parasite in Argentina. Specimens of D. rheae (n=37) were collected from 4 “ñandúes” coming from the Buenos Aires Province, three of them wild animals and one from an hatchery. Helminths, conserved in Railliet & Henry solution, were measured and photographied. Parasites revealed marked sexual dimorphism: males (n=20) measured 18.24±3.61 cm and females (n=17) 66.24±16.40 cm. Males showed a caudal extremity ventrally curved, with well developed wings flows, lengthened papillas and unequal spicules. The vulva of females was located near the esophagus. The oral opening was surrounded by a cuticle thickening. Under the mouth four couples of circular papillas were present. Eggs were thick-shelled and larvated.
