Ascaridoid nematodes of sirenians - the Heterocheilinae redefined.
Jour. Helminthol. 54(4): 309-327. 3 tabs. 30 figs. 3 pls. Mar. 9, 1981.
–Redescribes Heterocheilus tunicatus and Paradujardinia halicoris, giving new locality records; redefines the Heterocheilinae to include these and 6 other genera; suggests that ascaridoids of sirs. were derived from those of fluviatile lower vertebrates.

Ascaridoid nematodes of sirenians - a new species in the Senegal manatee.
Jour. Helminthol. 57(1): 69-76. 2 tabs. 15 figs. 1 pl. Mar. 1983.
–Describes Heterocheilus domningi, n.sp., from T. senegalensis, and compares it with H. tunicatus; suggests that the distribution of these parasites supports a South American rather than African origin for manatees. Also reports H. tunicatus from T. manatus.
