Reported median body size for this species (Length mm; width micrometers; weight micrograms) - Click:

Distribution:

.Originally described from Turkestan. Reported the world , including the Mediterranean, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, and other areas of Asia and Africa.

Feeding:

Parasite the abomasum of camels, sheep, goats other ruminants.

Parabronemosis of ruminants is caused by Parabronema skrjabini in the abomasum (fourth stomach) of the host. The parasitism causes mucosal ulcers, congestion and bleeding. It severely threatens camel health, causing low productivity, work efficiency and economic losses to industries involved in camel husbandry and other livestock production..

Parabronemosis suppresses absorption of food, resulting in weakness, low weight, and histopathological changestpthe abomasa mucosa.

Life Cycle:

Intermediate hosts are horn flies (Haematobia irritans) and other flies that acquire eggs and infective juveniles by feeding on feces of the definitive host.

The development of P. skrjabini larvae in larval instars of horn flies is quite synchronized and all instars of the horn fly can be harboring larvae of the nematode (Liu ey al., 2021).
