Skunks serve as a natural definitive host for this metastrongylid nematode in North America, in which infections result in observable damage to the host cranium, where adult parasites reside. Additionally, skunks are considered the primary reservoir of rabies in Texas. In November 2022, the animal was discovered in northern Texas displaying neurologic signs before euthanasia and submission to the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory for rabies testing. Direct fluorescent antibody testing indicated that the animal was rabies-positive, and, upon tissue collection, numerous adult nematodes were recovered from the cranium and identified as S. chitwoodorum by morphology and amplification of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. Histologically, we found lymphohistiocytic meningitis in several loci and chronic sinusitis rostral to the cribriform plate. Due to behavioral abnormalities, we additionally tested for Toxoplasma gondii via PCR, but no parasite DNA was detected. Concurrent infection by S. chitwoodorum and rabies virus may contribute to neurologic signs in skunks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10406387241293421","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,8]],"date-time":"2024-11-08T00:27:47Z","timestamp":1731025667000},"page":"184-188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["<i>Skrjabingylus chitwoodorum<\/i>\n                    in a rabies-positive striped skunk in Texas"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Myers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brianne","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ragan","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shannon","family":"Caseltine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5795-5906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruth C.","family":"Scimeca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1079\/9780851994215.0000"},{"key":"bibr2-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/GE-334R"},{"key":"bibr3-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21307\/jofnem-2021-005"},{"key":"bibr4-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jfo.2020.01.001"},{"key":"bibr5-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1645\/GE-1245.1"},{"key":"bibr6-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-011-2800-y"},{"key":"bibr7-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3272905"},{"key":"bibr8-10406387241293421","first-page":"64","volume":"7","author":"Habibi G","year":"2012","journal-title":"Iran J Parasitol"},{"key":"bibr9-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1999.215.10.1444"},{"key":"bibr10-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fevo.2016.00080"},{"key":"bibr11-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/2019-07-182"},{"key":"bibr12-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3272332"},{"key":"bibr13-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7589\/2017-02-023"},{"key":"bibr14-10406387241293421","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/z83-379"},{"key":"bibr15-10406387241293421","unstructured":"Lankester M.
