Our specimens are identical with the original description in the body size of gravid female, the width of cephalic and caudal end, the number and arrangement of cephalic papillae, the relative length of the oesophagus to body length, the size of ventriculus, the morphology of oesophageal bulb and posterior end, and the body size of larvae. In addition, specimens of P. lagocephali were also characterized using molecular methods by sequencing and analysing the small ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) and mitochondrial cytochrome c coxidase subunit 1 (cox1) target regions. Phylogenetic analyses of genus Philometra base on 18S rDNA sequences was made using Mega 5.2. The results confirmed P. lagocephali is a valid species. It\u2019s the first molecular study of this species. These new morphological and molecular data contributed to a more precise and rapid diagnosis of this hitherto poorly known philometrid nematode.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ap-2015-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,16]],"date-time":"2015-06-16T17:39:53Z","timestamp":1434476393000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Redescription and genetic characterization of Philometra lagocephali Moravec et Justine 2008 (Nematoda: Philometridae) from Lagocephalus lunaris (Bloch and Schneider) (Tetraodontiformes: Tetradontidae) in the South China Sea"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Shu-Xia","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu-Ping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","reference":[{"key":"ref61","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.14411\/fp.2009.017","article-title":"New data on dracunculoid nematodes from fishes off New Caledonia including four new species of Philometra and Ichthyofilaria","volume":"56","author":"Moravec","year":"2009","journal-title":"Folia Parasitologica"},{"key":"ref121","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1725","DOI":"10.1007\/s00436-011-2481-6","article-title":"de Use of molecular tools in identification of philometrid larvae in fishes : technical limitations parallel our poor assessment of their biodiversity","volume":"109","author":"Palesse","year":"2011","journal-title":"Parasitology Research"},{"key":"ref111","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.14411\/fp.2012.017","article-title":"Five new species of philometrid nematodes from marine fishes off Java Indonesia","volume":"59","author":"Moravec","year":"2012","journal-title":"Folia Parasitologica"},{"key":"ref161","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.2478\/s11687-014-0235-6","article-title":"First description of male Philometra thaiensis Moravec Fiala et from the body cavity of the eyespot pufferfish Tetraodon biocellatus Tirant and evolutionary relationships of this species with other dracunculoids as inferred from SSU rRNA gene sequences","volume":"51","author":"Quiazon","year":"2009","journal-title":"Helminthologia"},{"key":"ref101","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.14411\/fp.2009.008","article-title":"Philometrids from fishes of Lake Turkana Kenya including two new species of Philometra and erection of Afrophilometra gen","volume":"56","author":"Moravec","year":"2009","journal-title":"Folia Parasitologica"},{"key":"ref131","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1007\/s11230-010-9288-1","article-title":"A checklist of parasitic nematodes from marine fishes of China","volume":"79","author":"Peng","year":"2011","journal-title":"Systematic Parasitology"},{"key":"ref181","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4673","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/22.22.4673","article-title":"improving the sensitivity of progressive multiple sequence alignment through sequence weighting position -
