Abstract

Post mortem examination of a spot-billed pelican (Pelecanus philippensis) revealed the presence of numerous anisakid nematodes in the proventriculus. The nematodes were processed in lactophenol as temporary mounts and were identified as Contracaecum rudolphii Hartwich, 1964 based on micrometry and morphological description of the anterior end, the sinuous uterus with sub globular thick-shelled eggs in female parasite and the tips of the spicules in male parasite. This is the first record of C. rudolphii in a wild spot-billed pelican from Andhra Pradesh, India.
