Porrocaecum angusticolle is a nematode species mainly parasitic in the birds of Accipitriformes and Strigiformes. However, some aspects of the morphology of P. angusticolle remain insufficiently known. In the present study, the detailed morphology of P. angusticolle was studied using light and, for the first time, scanning electron microscopy, based on newly collected specimens from the common buzzard Buteo buteo (Linnaeus) (Accipitriformes: Accipitridae) in Czech Republic. Some previously unreported morphological features of taxonomic significance were observed. The nuclear and mitochondrial DNA markers, including partial large ribosomal DNA (28S), complete internal transcribed spacer (ITS-1 + 5.8S + ITS-2), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and subunit 2 (cox2) of P. angusticolle were sequenced for molecular identification of this species. There was no intraspecific genetic variation detected in the 28S and ITS regions among different individuals of P. angusticolle, but low level of intraspecific nucleotide divergence was found in the cox1 (0.26–0.78%) and cox2 regions (1.0%). The 28S and cox2 of P. angusticolle were sequenced for the first time. Our molecular evidence supported the validity of both P. angusticolle and P. depressum. The newly obtained genetic data are helpful for further studies of DNA-based taxonomy, population genetics and phylogeny of the genus of Porrocaecum.
