Only<jats:italic>S. stroma<\/jats:italic>has been recorded previously in<jats:italic>Apodemus<\/jats:italic>spp. from the British Isles. Despite the paucity of earlier reports, we identified<jats:italic>S. frederici<\/jats:italic>in four disparate British sites, two in Nottinghamshire, one each in Berkshire and Anglesey, Wales. Identification was based on their site in the host (caecum and not small intestine), on key morphological criteria that differentiate this species from<jats:italic>S. stroma<\/jats:italic>(in particular the tail of female worms) and by sequencing two genetic loci (cytochrome C oxidase 1 gene and a section of ribosomal DNA). Sequences derived from both genetic loci of putative British<jats:italic>S. frederici<\/jats:italic>isolates formed a tight clade with sequences from continental worms known to be<jats:italic>S. frederici<\/jats:italic>, clearly distinguishing these isolates from<jats:italic>S. stroma<\/jats:italic>which formed a tight clade of its own, distinct from clades representative of<jats:italic>Syphacia obvelata<\/jats:italic>from<jats:italic>Mus<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>S. muris<\/jats:italic>from<jats:italic>Rattus<\/jats:italic>. The data in this paper therefore constitute the first record of<jats:italic>S. frederici<\/jats:italic>from British wood mice, and confirm the status of this species as distinct from both<jats:italic>S. obvelata<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>S. stroma<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182017001470","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]],"date-time":"2017-08-23T09:46:50Z","timestamp":1503481610000},"page":"269-280","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Parasitic nematodes of the genus<i>Syphacia<\/i>Seurat, 1916 infecting Muridae in the British Isles, and the peculiar case of<i>Syphacia frederici<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"145","author":[{"given":"ALEX","family":"STEWART","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANN","family":"LOWE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"LESLEY","family":"SMALES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNA","family":"BAJER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JAN","family":"BRADLEY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DOROTA","family":"DWU\u017bNIK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"FRITS","family":"FRANSSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JACK","family":"GRIFFITH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"PETER","family":"STUART","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"CYAN","family":"TURNER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GRZEGORZ","family":"ZALE\u015aNY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JERZY M.","family":"BEHNKE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182017001470_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2478\/s11686-006-0046-0"},{"key":"S0031182017001470_ref32","first-page":"661","article-title":"Characterization of rat pinworm (Syphacia muris) epidemiology as a means to increase detection and elimination","volume":"53","author":"Meade","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science"},{"key":"S0031182017001470_ref65","volume-title":"The History of the British Mammals","author":"Yalden","year":"1999"},{"key":"S0031182017001470_ref24","first-page":"1","article-title":"Les n\u00e9matodes Syphaciinae, parasites de Rongeurs et de Lagomorphes.
