Monodontus

Monodontus is a genus of parasitic nematodes in the subfamily Bunostominae of family Ancylostomatidae. Most of its species occur in rodents and suids, but "Monodontus louisianensis" is from the white-tailed deer ("Odocoileus virginianus") and "Monodontus giraffae" from the giraffe ("Giraffa camelopardalis"). An unspecified "Monodontus" has been recorded from the marsh rice rat ("Oryzomys palustris") in Florida.
