A total of 58 nematodes originating from three European farms and one zoo (located in Czech Republic and Italy) were subjected to morphological and biometric evaluation. For original DNA analysis, three markers were selected: a partial sequence of the nuclear 18S rRNA (18S) gene, both nuclear internal transcribed spacer regions (ITSs; encompassing a partial sequence of the 18S rRNA gene, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2, and a partial sequence of the 28S rRNA gene), and a partial mitochondrial gene encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Males exhibited an extremely long cloaca with a complex, unique course, as well as a long, slender spicule, measuring 4.7\u20135.6\u202fmm. Additionally, the junction between the ejaculatory duct and the vas efferens formed a distinct muscular constriction. Females exhibited an uneverted aspinous vulva and a highly convoluted vagina containing a unique egg chamber. A subset of adult worms was characterized using three molecular markers, which yielded 30 unique sequences: two variants for 18S, 14 variants for the ITS regions, and 13 variants for COI. Phylogenetic trees constructed for all DNA markers placed\n                      <jats:italic>T. tenuis<\/jats:italic>\n                      close to a well-defined clade of trichurid species parasitic to domestic ruminants.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Integrative morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic analysis indicated that this species is both morphologically and molecularly distinct from its congeners.
