Extract

A new member of the genus Trichostrongylus Looss, 1905, was collected by the writer from the gastric stomach (abomasum) and the duodenum of an old eland bull in 1981. The animal was shot at a spot amongst the Nega Nega Hills to the east of the Great North Motor Road in the Mazabuka Provincial District.

Eight males and twelve females were collected from the pyloric end of the abomasum which also harboured a large number of Haemonchus mitchelli LeRoux, 1929, and a few specimens of Ostertagia circumcincta (Stadelmann, 1894). Two more males and four females of the new species were encountered amongst a large number of Cooperia spp. including Cooperia neitzi, Mönnig, 1981.
