■仅对乌克兰的两栖动物和爬行动物中的寄生虫进行了一些全面的研究。这导致在这些脊椎动物群体中鉴定出超过100种蠕虫物种。然而,大部分的研究都是在20世纪进行的,许多寄生虫及其宿主的分类法从此发生了变化,除了发现新物种和注册以前在乌克兰未知的物种。近几十年来,关于该地区两栖动物或爬行动物宿主的蠕虫的出版物很少。值得注意的是,最近的一项研究是动物性研究,提供在两种绿色青蛙中发现的蠕虫清单-Pelophylaxridibundus(Pallas,1771年)和Pelophylaxesculentus(Linnaeus,1758).因此,很明显,发布这些脊椎动物群体中蠕虫现代记录的数据集,基于现代分类法,是进一步研究其寄生多样性的重要步骤。此外,这样的研究在全球气候变化方面很重要,外来物种(宿主和寄生虫)入侵的可能性越来越多,这可能会对本地生物群构成威胁,并对影响寄生虫的本地宿主种群造成越来越大的人为压力。在未来,这项研究计划用于创建乌克兰爬虫蠕虫清单。本数据集是各种蠕虫的清单,这些蠕虫寄生在中部,北方,乌克兰西部和南部在2021-2023年期间的实地研究中记录。
■该数据集是第一个代表乌克兰爬行动物和两栖动物蠕虫最新和统一数据的数据集。以前,这组生物相对于其宿主的记录在该国作为几个单独的记录。目前,这是最大的数据集,显示乌克兰动物群中与人类无关的蠕虫的地理编码记录。它报告了来自15个宿主(205个个体)的蠕虫物种,包括在乌克兰各个地区发现的八种两栖动物和七种爬行动物。在研究中以及2021-2023年期间,在北部地区(基辅和Zhytomyr)共记录了47种蠕虫物种,西方(利沃夫,ZakarpattiaIvano-Frankivsk),中央(Vinnytsia,第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克,Cherkasy,Zaporizhzhia和Poltava)和乌克兰的南部(Odesa)地区。确定的蠕虫物种属于以下门:Acanthocephala(Centrorhynchidae(2),棘齿科(2);线虫(Acuariidae,异语科,Cosmoscorcidae(3),滴虫科,昆虫科(1),Kathlanidae(1),Molineidae(7),Onchocencidae(1),咽科(1),Rhabdiasidae(6),Strongyloidae);platyhelminthes(Diplodiscidae(1),二倍体科(2),内旋涡科(1),血球科(1),Leptophallidae(2),大牛科(1),中胚层,Opistorchiidae(2),plagiorchiidae(3),胸膜科(2),多孔科(3),Proteocphalidae(1),纹状科(1)和触状科(3))。数据集中只有一些蠕虫没有被识别到物种水平。材料存储在乌克兰I.I.Schmalhausen动物学NAS研究所寄生虫学系的集合中。
UNASSIGNED: Only a few comprehensive studies have been carried out on parasites in amphibians and reptiles in Ukraine. This has resulted in identifying over 100 helminth species across these vertebrate groups. However, most of the studies were performed in the 20th century and the taxonomy of many parasites and their hosts has changed ever since, in addition to the discovery of new species and registrations of species that had not been previously known for Ukraine. In recent decades, there have been very few publications on helminths from amphibian or reptile hosts in this region. Notably, just one of these recent studies is a faunistic study, providing a list of helminths found in two species of green frogs - Pelophylaxridibundus (Pallas, 1771) and Pelophylaxesculentus (Linnaeus, 1758). Therefore, it is clear that publishing datasets of modern records of helminths in these vertebrate groups, based on modern taxonomy, is an essential step in further studies of their parasitic diversity. Additionally, such study is important in terms of global climate change, the growing number of possibilities of invasion of alien species (both hosts and parasites) that might potentially become a threat to native biota and growing anthropogenic pressure on local populations of hosts that affect the parasites as well. In future, this study is planned to be used for the creation of a checklist of helminths of the
herpetofauna of Ukraine. The present dataset is an inventory of various species of helminths parasitising common species of the
herpetofauna in central, northern, western and southern Ukraine recorded during field studies in the 2021-2023 period.
UNASSIGNED: The dataset is the first one to represent the up-to-date and unified data on helminths of reptiles and amphibians of Ukraine. Previously, records of this group of organisms with reference to their hosts were presented as several separate records within the country. Currently, this is the largest dataset presenting geocoded records of non-human-related helminths in the fauna of Ukraine. It reports helminth species from 15 hosts (205 individuals), including eight amphibians and seven reptilian species found in various Ukrainian regions. A total of 47 helminth species have been documented in the research and during 2021-2023 period on the territory of northern (Kyiv and Zhytomyr), western (Lviv, Zakarpattia Ivano-Frankivsk), central (Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Zaporizhzhia and Poltava) and southern (Odesa) regions of Ukraine. The identified helminth species belong to the following phyla: Acanthocephala (Centrorhynchidae (2), Echinorhynchidae (2)); Nematoda (Acuariidae, Anisakidae, Cosmocercidae (3), Dioctophymatidae, Gnathostomatidae (1), Kathlanidae (1), Molineidae (7), Onchocercidae (1), Pharyngodonidae (1), Rhabdiasidae (6), Strongyloididae); Platyhelminthes (Diplodiscidae (1), Diplostomidae (2), Encyclometridae (1), Haematoloechidae (1), Leptophallidae (2), Macroderidae (1), Mesocestoididae, Opisthorchiidae (2), Plagiorchiidae (3), Pleurogenidae (2), Polystomatidae (3), Proteocephalidae (1), Strigeidae (1) and Telorchiidae (3)). Only some helminths in the dataset were not identified to species level. Material is stored in the collection of the department of Parasitology of the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology NAS of Ukraine.
