Extract

Toxocara genettae sp.nov. and Toxocara sprenti sp.nov. from viverrid hosts in Africa and S.E. Asia respectively are described. Seven Toxocara spp. from viverrid hosts are differentiated. The writer proposes that Toxocara canarisi Puylaert, 1967, from a feline host, become a species inquirendae requiring further study.
