Обобщены извест.ные ранее и приведены новые данные о нематодах рода Krefftascaris Sprent 1980. Новый вид рода, Krefftascaris sharpiloi Tkach, Kuzmin et Snyder, sp. n., описан из желудка бокошейной чере.пахи Chelodina rugosa из Северной Территории (Австралия). Он отличается от ранее извест.ного K. parmenteri Sprent, 1980 наличием разветвленных утолщений на переднем краю лате.раль.ных кутикулярных крыльев, а также положением нервного кольца относительно переднего кон.ца тела. Это расстояние, отнесенное к длине тела, у нового вида в 1,5–2 раза меньше, чем у K. parmenteri. Сравнение последовательностей около 2100 оснований рибосомальной ДНК Виды рода Krefftascaris впервые обнаружены у хозяев Chelodina rugosa, C. burrungandjii, C. canni и Emydura tanybaraga и на территории австралийских шатов Северная Территория, Квинсленд и Западная Австралия. Моле.ку.лярно-филогенетический анализ, основанный на последо.ва.тель.нос.тях нуклеотидов ядерного гена малой рибосомальной субъеди.ни.цы, показал близость Krefftascaris к роду Heterocheilus, типовому в семействе Heterocheilidae и подсемействе Hetero.chei.linae. Паразитирование некоторых видов и родов Heterocheilidae у крокодилов позволяет нам предположить, что предки Krefftascaris перешли к паразитированию у черепах от этой группы хозяев.

Introduction
Krefftascaris Sprent, 1980 is a monotypic genus known only from Australian freshwater turtles, and has
not been reported since original description. K. parmenteri Sprent, 1980 was described from fresh-water turtles
Chelodina longicollis (Shaw, 1794) and Elseya dentata (Gray, 1863) from New South Wales (Sprent, 1980).
Sprent did not clearly specify the systematic position of the new genus and only mentioned its probable close
relationships with the parasites of crocodilians (Ortleppascaris Sprent, 1978 and Gedoelstacaris Sprent, 1978)
and terrestrial reptiles (Angusticaecum Baylis, 1920, Hexametra Travassos, 1919 and Polydelphis Dujardin,
1845).
As part of a survey of the parasite fauna of Australian freshwater turtles (Snyder, Tkach, 2006, 2007,
2009; Tkach, Snyder, 2006, 2007 a, b, 2008; Kuzmin et al., 2009) we found ascaridiid nematodes in several
species of freshwater turtles from multiple localities in Queensland, Western Australia, and Northern
Territory, Australia. The majority of these specimens were identified as Krefftascaris parmenteri. However,
specimens from Chelodina rugosa Ogilby, 1890 collected from two localities in Northern Territory appeared
to be morphologically different from K. parmenteri. This material is described herein as a new species based
on combined morphological and molecular evidence. A molecular phylogenetic analysis is attempted in order
to clarify systematic position of Krefftascaris.
Material and methods
Between June 2004 and December 2007, specimens belonging to 12 species of freshwater turtles, were
collected by baited traps or by hand from numerous localities in New South Wales, Queensland, Northern
Territory and Western Australia. All collections proceeded under permits from authorities of corresponding
states.
Most turtles harboured one to several species of parasitic worms including digeneans, aspidogastreans,
cestodes and nematodes; however, for the purpose of this work we refer only to nematodes. After recovery
from the host intestine the nematodes were rinsed in saline, killed with hot 70% ethanol and stored in 70%
ethanol. For light microscopy they were cleared in phenol-glycerine (1 : 3 ratio). Measurements were taken
from a compound microscope using digital imaging and Rincon measurement software (v. 7.1.2, Imaging
Planet, Goleta, California). Photographs and drawings were made with DFC480 digital camera and drawing
tube mounted on Leica DM5000 compound microscope equipped with DIC optics. Nematodes belonging to
the new species were found in material from C. rugosa from two localities in Northern Territories (Hayes
Creek Billabong and a small lagoon on Mango Farm in the Daly River floodplain). Specimens of
K. parmenteri used for morphological differentiation with the new species originated from C. rugosa and
C. burrunganjii from Western Australia, Queensland and Northern Territory.
All measurements are in micrometers unless otherwise stated.
Genomic DNA for molecular analysis was extracted from: six specimens of Krefftascaris parmenteri
obtained from Chelodina rugosa collected from the Mary and Daly Rivers in Northern Territory) and
Leichardt Lagoon in Northern Queensland; Chelodina canni collected from Armraynald Station and Ross
River Dam in Northern Queensland; Chelodina burrungandjii collected from Parry Creek Farm Billabong in
Western Australia and Emydura tanybaraga collected from a small lagoon on Mango Farm in Northern
Territory. DNA was also extracted from two specimens of the new species obtained from Chelodina rugosa
collected from Hayes Creek Billabong and a small lagoon on Mango Farm, both in Northern Territory
(tabl. 1). Tissue for DNA extraction was taken from the middle part of the body while taxonomically
important anterior and posterior parts were preserved as vouchers for morphological identification. DNA was
extracted according to Tkach and Pawlowski (1999).
For species differentiation, DNA fragments spanning the 3’ end of 18S nuclear rDNA gene, internal
transcribed spacer region (ITS1 + 5.8S + ITS2) and 5’ end of the 28S gene were amplified by PCR on an
Eppendorf Master Gradient thermal cycler using the newly designed forward primer c1860f (5’– TGAAAA
TCCTCCGTGCTCGG–3’) and the reverse primer n900r (5’–GGTTCGATTAGTCTTTCGCC–3’). PCR
primers as well as additional forward internal primer 28S 2 (5’–CCGCTGAATTTAAGCATAT–3’) and
reverse internal primers 28S 2R (5’–ATATGCTTAAATTCAGCGG–3’), 300R (5’–CAACTTTCCC
TCACGGTACTTG–3’) and ECD2 (5’–CTTGGTCCGTGTTTCAAGACGGG–3’) were used for
sequencing. PCR products were purified directly using Qiagen Qiaquick™ (Valencia, CA) columns, cycle-
sequenced using ABI BigDye™ chemistry, alcohol-precipitated, and run on an ABI Prism 3100™ automated
capillary sequencer. Contiguous sequences were assembled and edited using Sequencher™ (GeneCodes
Corp., ver. 4.1.4) and submitted to GenBank: Krefftascaris parmenteri (GU245685– GU245690), Krefftascaris
sharpiloi sp. n. (GU245691– GU245692). Sequences were aligned for pairwise comparison in the BioEdit
program, version 7.0.1 (Hall, 1999).
For phylogenetic analysis, nearly complete nuclear small ribosomal subunit (18S) gene was amplified
from the new species using forward primer G18S4 (5’–GCTTGTCTCAAAGATTAAGCC–3’) and reverse
primer c1960r (5’–CGACTTTTGCCCGGTTCAAGCCAC–3’). PCR primers and additional internal
reverse primers n635r (5’–CGCCTGCTGCCTTCCTTGG–3’) and n649r (5’–TAAGAACGGCCATG
CACCAC–3’) were used for sequencing. Sequence of K. sharpiloi nov. sp. was aligned with previously
published sequences (Nadler, Hudspeth, 1998, 2000; Nadler et al., 2007) of 16 other species belonging to 7
4 V. V. Tkach, Yu. I. Kuzmin, S. D. Snyder
ascaridoid families and 3 outgroup taxa available in GenBank: Brumptaemilius justini (AF036589),
Raillietnema sp. (DQ503461), Nemhelix bakeri (DQ118537), Dujardinascaris waltoni (EF180081), Cruzia
americana (U94371), Heterocheilus tunicatus (U94373), Contracaecum eudyptulae (EF180072), Porrocaecum
depressum (U94379), Toxocara canis (U94382), Pseudoterranova decipiens (U94380), Anisakis sp. (U94365),
Terranova caballeroi (U94381), Hysterothylacium reliquens (U94376), Iheringascaris inquies (U94377),
Raphidascaris acus (DQ503460), Ascaris lumbricoides (U94366), Baylisascaris procyonis (U94368), Parascaris
equorum (U94378), Toxascaris leonina (U94383). Choice of ingroup and outgroup taxa was based on recent
molecular phylogenetic studies of the Ascaridoidea and related nematode lineages (Nadler, Hudspeth, 1998,
2000; Nadler et al., 2007). Choice of the gene was defined by the selection of sequences currently available
in the GenBank. Sequences were aligned using Clustal W module implemented in the BioEdit 7.01 (Hall,
1999) with subsequent refinement by eye using BioEdit. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Maximum
Parsimony (MP) analyses were performed using PAUP* ver. 4.0b10 (Swofford, 2002). Nodal support was
calculated based on 1,000 bootstrap replicates with 100 replicates at each step for MP analysis and 1,000
bootstrap replicates for ML analysis.

E t ymo l o g y. The species is named in honour of prominent helminthologist
Viktor Sharpilo in recognition of his contributions to helminthology and particularly to
our knowledge of reptilian nematodes. He was a mentor of two co-authors of this pub-
lication, Vasyl Tkach and Yuriy Kuzmin.
Rema r k s
Krefftascaris sharpiloi sp. n. is morphologically most similar to K. parmenteri
Sprent, 1980, the only species of Krefftascaris known prior to this study. The two species
are similar in body size and shape, size and shape of the head structures, and the shape
and position of male and female genital structures. Kreftascaris sharpiloi sp. n. differs
from K. parmenteri in the presence of prominent bifurcating thickenings on the anteri-
or edges of the lateral alae, which are less pronounced and lack bifurcation in K. par-
menteri (fig. 2, a, b). The two species also differ in the relative distance from anterior
end to the nerve ring. When calculated as a percentage of the body length, this distance
is 1.5–2 times greater in K. parmenteri, than in K. sharpiloi sp. n. (tabl. 2).
Pairwise comparison of approximately 2,100 bases of ribosomal DNA sequences
(partial 18S, complete ITS1+5.8S+ITS2, partial 28S) obtained from 2 specimens of the
new species and 3 specimens of K. parmenteri showed 75 nucleotide differences between
the two species. Sequences of Krefftascaris sharpiloi sp. n. showed no intraspecific vari-
ability. Only 4 nucleotide substitutions were found in the ITS region of K. parmenteri
from two localities in Northern Queensland compared with specimens from Northern
Territory and Western Australia, which were identical to one another. These regions and
collecting localities are quite distant from one another (fig. 3). For instance, the Ross
River Dam in Northern Queensland and the Parry Creek Farm Billabong in the Western
Australia are situated more than 1900 km apart. In contrast, sequences of K. parmenteri
obtained from localities situated only 200–300 km apart did not show any differences.
More importantly, sequences of K. parmenteri and K. sharpiloi sp. n. obtained from spec-
imens collected from the same host species, C. rugosa, and at the same site on the Daly

The alignment was trimmed to the length of the shortest sequence. The total length
of the alignment was 1688 bases with the shortest sequence being 1682 bases long and
longest being 1685 bases long. Due to the conserved nature of the gene, only 5 sites

were excluded from the analysis. Of the remaining 1683 sites, 168 were variable and 70
were parsimony-informative. Due to the low level of variability and small number of
parsimony-informative characters the 18S gene is not the best DNA region for phylo-
genetic inference at this taxonomic level. Unfortunately, our choice of molecular tar-
get for analysis was limited by the sequences currently available in the GenBank. The
18S sequences were best represented for the Ascaridoidea and suitable outgroups.
Both ML and MP analyses yielded almost identical tree topology (fig. 4) with
varying levels of bootstrap support. The only difference between the two trees was clus-
tering of Contracaecum and Toxocara in a weakly (53%) supported clade in MP anal-
ysis while in the ML analysis the support for this clade was lower than 50% and thus
they are on figure 4 as a polytomy. Several clades were only weakly supported as a result
of conserved nature of the analyzed gene. General topology of the branches and termi-
nal taxa was similar to that demonstrated and discussed in detail in the previous phy-
logenetic treatments of the Ascaridioidea (Nadler, Hudspeth, 1998, 2000; Nadler et al.,
2007). Krefftascaris sharpiloi clustered together with Heterocheilus tunicatus, a member
of the Heterocheilidae. This clade received high 96% bootstrap support in the MP anal-
ysis and 90% support in the ML analysis.

Discussion
J. F. A. Sprent (1980) reported a short cuticular needle at the tip of the tail in
young female specimens of K. parmenteri. However, we observed this structure in both
young and adult females of K. parmenteri and K. sharpiloi sp. n. It seems possible that
this fragile feature may be lost in fixed specimens depending on the fixation procedure.
Metric characters in nematodes parasites of animals usually display a high degree
of variability due to continued growth of these parasites during the adult stage. This
variability frequently prevents efficient use of metric characters in the differentiation of
closely related species. However, if the same measurement (e. g. the distance between
the anterior end and the nerve ring) differs remarkably and consistently among groups
of similarly sized specimens this character may be useful for species differentiation.
Additionally, relative metric characters in nematodes demonstrate lower limits of vari-
ability than do absolute measurements (Baker, 1978). This line of evidence gives us
cause to consider the difference in relative distance from the anterior end to the nerve
ring a valid character for species differentiation between K. sharpiloi sp. n. and K. par-
menteri.
Although we have collected Chelodina throughout the range of these turtles, the
new species, K. sharpiloi, was found only in C. rugosa collected in Northern Territory.
Kreftascaris parmenteri, in contrast, was observed in three Chelodina species, Emydura
tanybaraga and Elseya dentata from a much broader geographical range: New South
Wales (Sprent, 1980), Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia (fig. 3).
Our findings represent first records of Krefftascaris in Chelodina rugosa, C. burrungand-
jii, C. canni and Emydura tanybaraga and is also the first report of this genus in the
Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia. Krefftascaris parmenteri is only
second endoparasite species known from Ch. burrungandjii.
Recent publications of nematodes from Australian freshwater turtles (Ferguson,
Smales, 1998, 2006; Zelmer, Platt, 2005) did not report Krefftascaris, although some of
the authors (Zelmer, Platt, 2005) have examined the same turtle species from localities
close to the sites of our own collections. This may reflect the fact that members of
Krefftascaris, despite broad distribution on the continent, are somewhat rare parasites
of Australian freshwater turtles; the general prevalence of Krefftascaris spp. in all turtles
examined in our study was 5.9%. On the other hand, the collection efforts to date do
not account for seasonal fluctuations in Kreftascaris populations that may cause these
worms to be overlooked.
Hundreds of Emydura (short-necked turtles) have been examined as part of our
research and by others from a number of localities throughout the range of this genus.
Nevertheless, only a single individual of E. tanybaraga collected from a billabong near
Daly River in Northern Territory NT infected with K. parmenteri was found in. Thus,
Krefftascaris have been found in representatives of all genera of Australian side-necked
turtles other than monotypical Pseudemydura Siebenrock, 1901. Its only species
Pseudemydura umbrina Siebenrock, 1901 is critically endangered and thus could not be
examined for parasites.
Available prevalence data suggest that Chelodina is probably the preferred host
group of Krefftascaris.
Previous molecular phylogenetic works (Nadler, Hudspeth, 1998, 2000; Nadler et
al., 2007) have significantly improved our knowledge of the phylogenetic interrelation-
ships within the Ascaridoidea. However, previous studies did not include sequences of
Krefftascaris. In our analysis, K. sharpiloi clustered together with a member of the
Heterocheilidae with high bootstrap support in both ML and MP searches. Krefftascaris
also shows morphological similarity (structure of the head end, presence of labial pulp
and 4 pairs of precloacal/genital papillae, etc.) with some heterocheilids, especially
11Krefftascaris (Nematoda, Ascaridoidea) from Australian Side-Necked Turtles...
those from crocodilians (Sprent, 1983, 1999). Therefore, we provisionally place
Krefftascaris in the Heterocheilidae. Members of the Heterocheilidae and particularly
Heterocheilinae include several parasites of Australian crocodiles (Sprent, 1983, 1999).
We hypothesize that Krefftascaris or its ancestor may have been acquired in the course
of evolution from crocodilians. However, any definite statement on this matter would
be premature with limited currently available data. Inclusion of additional ascaridoid
taxa and especially those from crocodilians into future phylogenetic studies will provide
a better basis for discussion of this hypothesis.
The level of intraspecific sequence variability in the sequenced ITS–28S region
among populations of K. parmenteri separated by nearly 2000 kilometres was only four
nucleotide substitutions. This is nearly 20 times lower than the observed level of inter-
specific variability between K. parmenteri and K. sharpiloi sp. n. (75 bases). Although
the two species are easily differentiated genetically, they are very similar morphologi-
cally. The observed morphological differences were stable, but relatively minor. This is
reminiscent of the situation observed in other groups of Australian freshwater turtle par-
asites such as digenean genera Aptorchis Nicoll, 1914, Choanocotyle Jue Sue and Platt,
1998, Buckarootrema Platt and Brooks, 2001 and nematode genus Camallanus Railliet
et Henry, 1915. All of these genera have been shown to circumscribe two or more mor-
phologically very similar species that, nevertheless, possess very distinct genetic differ-
ences (Platt, Tkach, 2003; Snyder, Tkach, 2006; Tkach, Snyder, 2006, 2007 a, b, 2008;
Kuzmin et al., 2009). This pattern suggests rather recent and active speciation process-
es resulting from the disruption of previously uninterrupted turtle distributions by pro-
gressive aridization of the climate and a consequent separation of major river drainages.
Further accumulation of faunistic, morphological and sequence data will allow better
assessment of the trends in the evolution of parasites of Australian freshwater turtles.

Krefftascaris sharpiloi Tkach, Kuzmin et Snyder, sp. n. is described from specimens found in the stomach of the northern snake-necked turtle Chelodina rugosa collected from two localities in Northern Territory, Australia. The new species differs from the only previously known Krefftascaris species, K. parmenteri Sprent, 1980, by the presence of thickened and bifurcated anterior edges of the lateral cuticular alae and a difference in the relative distance from the anterior end to the nerve ring which is 1.5 to 2 times greater in K. parmenteri. Comparison of approximately 2.100 bases of ribosomal DNA sequences This study contains first reports of Krefftascaris in Chelodina rugosa, Chelodina burrungandjii, Chelodina canni and Emydura tanybaraga and the first records of this genus in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of nuclear small ribosomal subunit gene has demonstrated close affinities between Krefftascaris and Heterocheilus, the type genus of the Heterocheilidae and Heterocheilinae. Parasitism of several species and genera of Heterocheilidae in crocodiles allows us to hypothesize that Krefftascaris may have been acquired by turtles from crocodilians. Обобщены извест.ные ранее и приведены новые данные о нематодах рода Krefftascaris Sprent 1980. Новый вид рода, Krefftascaris sharpiloi Tkach, Kuzmin et Snyder, sp. n., описан из желудка бокошейной чере.пахи Chelodina rugosa из Северной Территории (Австралия). Он отличается от ранее извест.ного K. parmenteri Sprent, 1980 наличием разветвленных утолщений на переднем краю лате.раль.ных кутикулярных крыльев, а также положением нервного кольца относительно переднего кон.ца тела. Это расстояние, отнесенное к длине тела, у нового вида в 1,5–2 раза меньше, чем у K. parmenteri. Сравнение последовательностей около 2100 оснований рибосомальной ДНК Виды рода Krefftascaris впервые обнаружены у хозяев Chelodina rugosa, C. burrungandjii, C. canni и Emydura tanybaraga и на территории австралийских шатов Северная Территория, Квинсленд и Западная Австралия. Моле.ку.лярно-филогенетический анализ, основанный на последо.ва.тель.нос.тях нуклеотидов ядерного гена малой рибосомальной субъеди.ни.цы, показал близость Krefftascaris к роду Heterocheilus, типовому в семействе Heterocheilidae и подсемействе Hetero.chei.linae. Паразитирование некоторых видов и родов Heterocheilidae у крокодилов позволяет нам предположить, что предки Krefftascaris перешли к паразитированию у черепах от этой группы хозяев.
