1 FOLIA PARASITOLOGICA 46: 59-66, 1999 Rhabdias agkistrodonis (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae): morphology, distribution and specificity Yuriy I. Kuzmin Department of Parasitology, Shmalhausen Institute of Zoology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 15 B. Khmelnitskii Street, Kiev - 30, , Ukraine Key words: Rhabdias, free-living generation, parasitic hermaphrodites, Far East, viperid snakes Abstract. Morphology of adult parasitic hermaphrodites, free-living males and females, rhabditoid and infective larvae of Rhabdias agkistrodonis Sharpilo, 1976 is described. Adult parasites of the species differ from corresponding stage of other Rhabdias species from snakes in the presence of short cuticular needle on the tip of the tail. Free-living generation stages of R. agkistrodonis have typical rhabditoid morphology. Homogonic infective larvae differ from heterogonic ones in the shape of stoma and oesophagus. Three new hosts: Halys viper (Agkistrodon halys) (Pallas) from Altaiskii Krai (Russia), Okinawa habu (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) (Hallowell) and T. elegans (Gray) from Okinawa Island (Japan) are added to the host range of R. agkistrodonis known previously exclusively from short-tailed viper (Agkistrodon blomhoffi) from the Russian Far East. The original description of Rhabdias agkistrodonis Sharpilo, 1976 was based on the morphology of five parasitic hermaphrodites from one specimen of Agkistrodon blomhoffi (Boie) from the Russian Far East (Kedrovaya Pad' reserve) (Sharpilo 1976). The description was fairly brief and the differential diagnosis was not given. Since then, no data concerning the findings of the species have been published. The characteristic features of R. agkistrodonis life cycle have been already outlined (Kuzmin 1996) but neither free-living adults nor larval stages have been described. Studying the helminthological collection of the Department of Parasitology of Institute of Zoology of NAS of Ukraine I found several samples of nematodes that appeared to belong to R. agkistrodonis. Most of them were collected in the Russian Far East by Dr. V. Sharpilo. These worms had been obtained from the type host, A. blomhoffi. The species was also found in the material from Agkistrodon halys (Pallas) and from two species of the genus Trimeresurus - T. elegans (Gray) and T. flavoviridis (Hallowell) (the latter has been kindly send by Dr. H. Hasegawa from Okinawa, Japan). The experimental investigation of R. agkistrodonis free-living development in culture was carried out and the morphology of free-living stages was studied. Newly obtained data on the morphology, distribution and specificity of R. agkistrodonis are presented in this paper. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 31 specimens of Rhabdias agkistrodonis parasitic hermaphrodites were studied. Fifteen of them were from the type host Agkistrodon blomhoffi collected in Primorskii Krai (Russia), 10 from A. halys collected in Altaiskii Krai (Russia), 2 from Trimeresurus elegans and 4 from T. flavoviridis, all from Okinawa Island (Japan). The material studied is stored in the Department of Parasitology, Institute of Zoology of NAS of Ukraine. Two specimens of Agkistrodon blomhoffi caught in Kedrovaya Pad reserve were used in experimental studies of R. agkistrodonis development. Free-living stages of the parasite were cultured using the method of Chu (1936b) in the faeces of the host at room temperature (18-20 C). The method permits the separation of homogonic infective larvae, which migrated from the container into the surrounding water on the third day of culturing, from heterogonic stages. Adult males and females of free-living generation were observed in cultures on the third to fourth day of culturing. Heterogonic infective larvae appeared in cultures on the sixth to eighth day and started to migrate from the container soon afterward. Observations were made on the free-living development of the species in five separate cultures. By the end of experiments both short-tailed vipers had been examined. One and three adult hermaphrodites of R. agkistrodonis, respectively, were found in their lungs and no other nematodes were observed. All material from the collection was fixed in 4% solution of formaldehyde in saline. The material obtained in experiments was studied alive and then fixed in hot mixture of 1 part of 4% formaldehyde and 2 parts of 70% alcohol, with the addition of glycerol (not over 10% of the mixture). Nematodes were cleared in glycerol and studied under a Zeiss-Axiolab light microscope. RESULTS Parasitic hermaphrodites Fig. 1, Table 1 Maximum body width in vulva region.

Heterogonic infective larvae Fig. 3 B,C; Table 5 They differed from homogonic ones in the cylindrical shape of stoma and more elongated oesophagus with indistinct metacorpus and bulb lacking valve. Hosts and localities. Short-tailed viper (Agkistrodon blomhoffi) from Kedrovaya Pad reserve, Ussurijskii reserve and Olga town vicinity (Primorskii Krai, Russia); Halys viper (Agkistrodon halys) from Altaiskii reserve (Altaiskii Krai, Russia); Trimeresurus elegans and Okinawa habu (T. flavoviridis) from Okinawa Island (Japan). All known hosts belong to the subfamily Crotalinae, family Viperidae. DISCUSSION Our studies of available material on 7 Rhabdias species (R. agkistrodonis, R. elaphe, R. fuscovenosa, R. horigutii, R. kurilensis, R. martinoi and R. vibakari) from Palaearctic snakes have shown that only R. agkistrodonis has an awl-like tail tip. R. agkistrodonis may be also distinguished from R. fuscovenosa by the larger number of eggs (about 100) in the uteri of gravid parasites and by predominantly heterogonic development. Samples of R. agkistrodonis specimens were generally similar in various hosts. Specimens from Trimeresurus spp., however, appeared to be smaller than those from Agkistrodon spp. Bogdanov et al. (1969) described Rhabdias species from A. halys from Kazakhstan and Russian Far East as R. annulosa Hsu, 1933 which has been synonymized with R. fuscovenosa by Chu (1936a). The authors stated 65
8 that their material differed from R. fuscovenosa in the shape of buccal capsule (cup-like, not funnel-shaped), tail length and specificity. We believe that the worms described by Bogdanov et al. (1969) belong to R. agkistrodonis. Acknowledgements.
