A total of 12 nematode specimens observed in the post mortem were identified as Porrocaecum semiteres (Zeder, 1800) Baylis, 1920 by their measurements and morphological characters. This is the second record for P. semiteres from Japan. And L. superbus is reported as the first host record for P. senziteres. Considering that P. semiteres requires earthworms as an intermediate host in its life cycle, it is likely that the starling was infected with the nematode by ingestion of earthworms in the cage.}, pages = {59--63}, title = {First record of Porrocaecum semiteres (Zeder, 1800) Baylis, 1920 (Nematoda: Ascaridoidea) from a Superb Starling, Lamprotornis superbus Ruppell, 1845 with an overview of the genus Porrocaecum recorded from Japanese birds}, volume = {13}, year = {2011} }
