Molecular sequences (ITS-1, 5.8S and ITS-2 of the ribosomal DNA gene) and morphometric characters were analysed in Trichuris (Nematoda: Trichuridae) specimens found in seven host species: Arvicanthis niloticus, Gerbilliscus gambianus, Gerbillus gerbillus, G. tarabuli, Mastomys erythroleucus, M. huberti and M. natalensis. Phylogenetic analyses revealed three clades, one recognised as Trichuris mastomysi, previously recorded in M. natalensis from Tanzania, and the other two previously undescribed. A new species named Trichuris duplantieri n. sp., found in Gerbillus spp. from Mauritania, was characterised using molecular and morphometric methods. specialized Trichuris spp. Rodents West Africa Phylogeny BURKINA FASO MAURITANIE BENIN GUINEE MALI SENEGAL 052 080 116 4 1265-1271 2017 0932-0113 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069510 10.1007/s00436-017-5404-3 0932-0113 [F B010069510] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010069510 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/05/010069510.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-06-01 2023-07-11 fdi:010069510 fre
