An annotated checklist by genus and species of 93 species level names for 51 recognized species of small strongyles (Nematoda: Strongyloidea: Cyathostominea) of horses, asses and zebras of the world.
Abstract: The results of an international collaborative effort to prepare a recommended list of scientific names for the small strongyles (Nematoda: Strongyloidea: Cyathostominea) of horses, donkeys and zebras are reported. Fifty-one valid species are recognized in 13 genera, including Cyathostomum, Coronocyclus, Cylicodontophorus, Cylicocyclus, Cylicostephanus, Skrjabinodentus, Tridentoinfundibulum, Petrovinema, Poteriostomum, Parapoteriostomum, Hsiungia, Cylindropharynx and Caballonema. In addition, 42 other species level names are listed as synonyms of the 51 recognized species or as species inquirendae (10 species) or nomen nudum (one species). Numerous annotations provide information on the nomenclatural and systematics history, current status and additional studies needed.

Summary
This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.
This research involves creating a comprehensive list of scientific names for the small strongyles found in horses, donkeys and zebras worldwide. The study recognizes 51 valid species among 13 genera and also delves into the nomenclatural and systematic history relating to these parasites.
Objective of the Study
- This study aimed to compile a comprehensive and internationally accepted list of scientific names for small strongyles, a type of nematode parasite, found in horses, donkeys, and zebras spread globally.
Results of the Study
- 51 valid species of small strongyles were recognized, classified under 13 distinct genera. These include Cyathostomum, Coronocyclus, Cylicodontophorus, Cylicocyclus, Cylicostephanus, Skrjabinodentus, Tridentoinfundibulum, Petrovinema, Poteriostomum, Parapoteriostomum, Hsiungia, Cylindropharynx and Caballonema.
- Beside these, the researchers also presented 42 other species level names. Some of these names are synonymous with the 51 recognized species, while others were classified as species inquirendae (which are species requiring further investigation) or nomen nudum (a name applied to a species for which no proper description is provided).
Annotations and Further Information
- The researchers provide copious annotations regarding the nomenclatural and systematics history of each of the mentioned species. This means they provide historical context and previous classification frameworks for these species.
- These details shed light on the classification journey of these species and discuss their current status.
- The study also points out potential areas for further research and study regarding these species of small strongyles.
