Gongylonema is a genus of thread-like nematode that was discovered in 1850 by Joseph Leidy[verification needed][citation needed] and described by Molin in 1857. It is the only currently valid genus in the family Gongylonematidae, though the mysterious Spiruroides – usually placed in the Subuluridae, which are not closely related to Gongylonema among the Spiruria – might actually belong here. They are parasites of birds and mammals, transmitted by insects (especially beetles). Some 38 species are known, about 12 of which have been recorded in Europe.[1]

Several species are significant parasites of domestic animals, causing gongylonemiasis. Human infection by these nematodes is very rare: since its discovery there were less than 100 people reported to be infected with these parasites[citation needed], always with the species G. pulchrum.[2]
