| Popis: | A female Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) stranded in Hong Kong waters presented on postmortem examination with a single nematode with a diameter of 0.1 cm in the mammary gland, as well as mild multifocal chronic mastitis on histological examination. The parasitic material was recognised as a species of Crassicauda. To our knowledge, this is the first record of a species of Crassicauda occurring in an Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin and also represents a new geographical record for this genus in the South China Sea. |
