During recent studies of the parasites of rodents from Goiás and Bahia States, the following nematodes were recovered: Aspidodera vicentei n.sp., Boreostrongylus minutus (Dujardin, 1845) Durette-Desset, 1971, Hassalstrongylus epsilon (Travassos, 1937) Durette-Desset, 1971, Hassalstrongylus hoineffae (Durette-Desset, 1969) Durette-Desset, 1971, Hassalstrongylus zeta (Travassos, 1937) Durette-Desset, 1971, Heligmostrongylus tcheprakovae (Durette-Desset & Tchéprakoff, 1969) Durette-Desset, 1971, Litomosoides carinii (Travassos, 1920) Vaz, 1934, Paraspidodera uncinata (Rudolphi, 1819) Travassos, 1914, Pudica cercomysi (Durette-Desset & Tchéprakoff, 1969) Durette-Desset, 1971, Stilestrongylus freitasi Durette-Desset, 1968, Stilestrongylus inexpectatus Durette-Desset & Tchéprakoff, 1969 and Syphacia muris (Yamaguti, 1935) Yamaguti, 1941. Aspidodera vicentei n. sp. is the first species of the genus to be recorded from a rodent host, all previously described species of Aspidodera Railliet & Henry, 1912, having been recovered from marsupials or edentates. Other known and well described species of nematodes found during the study are listed, some of them representing new host records. ac]19820104
