Elaeophora
:''Elaeophora is also a synonym for the plant genus Plukenetia.
''Elaeophora'' is a genus of parasitic nematodes which live attached to the interior surfaces of major arteries, veins and/or heart chambers in various large mammal hosts. Infestation with ''Elaeophora'' species is referred to as elaeophorosis. The species of ''Elaeophora'' have been found in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Despite the fact that they produce aneurysms in the arteries and heart of their hosts which measure up to 2 cm in diameter, overt clinical symptoms of infestation are seldom reported, with the notable exception of ''E. schneideri'' infestation in sheep, elk, and moose.〔Pence, D.B. (1991) Elaeophorosis in wild ruminants. ''Bulletin of the Society for Vector Ecology'' 16(1):149-160.〕
== Taxonomy ==
The type species, ''Elaeophora poeli'' (Vryburg 1879) Railliet and Henry 1912, was first described as ''Filaria poeli'' in 1879. In 1912, the genus ''Elaeophora'' was created to distinguish this species from the other species of the genus ''Filaria''.〔Railliet, A. and A. Henry (1912) Nématodes vasculicoles des Bovins annamites." ''Bulletin de la Société de Pathologie Exotique'' 5(2):115-118.〕 ''Elaeophora'' was made the senior synonym of the genera ''Alcefilaria'' and ''Cordophilus'' in 1976.〔Anderson, R.C. and O. Bain (1976) "CIH Keys to the Nematode Parasites of Vertebrates." Commonwealth Agriculture Bureaux: Farnham, England, Vol. 3, pp. 59-116.〕
