| Gongylonema neoplasticum | Species parasitic in the stomach or oesophagus epithelium of various rodents, rabbits, and sheep and transmitted by coprophagous beetles; it is often associated with benign proliferations, once thought to be neoplastic, in the stomach and oesophagus of infected, malnourished rats.
