Abstract	Humberg R.M.P., Tavares L.E.R., Paiva F., Oshiro E.T., Bonamigo R.A., Júnior N.T. & Oliveira A.G. 2011. Turgida turgida (Nematoda: Physalopteridae) parasitic in white-bellied opossum, Didelphis albiventris (Marsupialia: Didelphidae), state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 31(1):78-80. Departamento de Patologia, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Cx. Postal 549, Campo Grande, MS 79070-900, Brazil. E-mail: agoliveira@nin.ufms.br Turgida turgida have been largely reported parasitizing Didelphis species in North and South America based on light microscopy observation. However, the features that differentiate T. turgida from other physalopterid species should be observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A female white-bellied opossum, Didelphis albiventris, arrived dead at the Centro de Reabilitação de Animais Silvestres (CRAS) in the municipality of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. During the necropsy, adult nematodes were collected from stomach and intestine. The nematodes were determined to be adult specimens and submitted to SEM for the species determination. This is the first report of T. turgida confirmed by SEM in the Neotropical region and the first report in an urban area in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
