Muspicea borreli Sambon, 1925
Muspicea borreli was discovered in 1911 by Professor A. Borrel, Director of the Bacteriological Institute of Strasbourg, while investigating the role of parasites in the genesis of cancer. The nematode was described by Sambon (1925) on the basis of seven female specimens from the subcutaneous connective tissue and inguinal glands of the common mouse, Mus musculus (Spratt et al., 2002).
