A conventional approach to a new classification of the strongyloidea, nematode parasites of mammals

Abstract

The conventional approach to systematic parasitology uses any kind of information, with a posteriori weighting of characters demonstrated to be concordant with many others. Two types of ovejectors and dorsal rays divide the strongyloid nematodes into groups that correlate with their host groups, resulting in the first phylogenetic classification of the superfamily Strongyloidea. © 1979 by the American Society of Zoologists.
