Abstract
During a survey of parasites of fish in Lake St, Lucia, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, Dichelyne (Dichelyne) rasheedae was recovered from the intestines of Pomadasys commersonnii and Rhabdosargus sarba, and Spiro camallanus olseni from Rhabdosargus sarba. These are new host and geog raphical records. Both species of nematodes are redescribed and figure d by use of light and scanning-electron-microscopical techniques, and additional morphological data are provided.
