Pathological Spotted Skunk Skull
Pathological Spotted Skunk Skull
Natural Bone

Spilogale putorius Skull length: 2 ¼” (5.8cm)

This specimen has been afflicted by the parasitic infection known as Skrjabingylus. Skrjabingylus sp. is a metastrongyloid nematode that is found living in slugs and snails. Mustelids, especially skunks (Mephitids), consume the parasite while eating infected gastropods. The adult nematode inhabits the frontal sinuses of its host and causes an infection that leads to deformation and disintegration of the bone surrounding this region. Skrjabingylus nematodes continue their life cycle by passing their eggs through their host’s feces. The cycle is complete when another gastropod eats the feces. The infected specimen is pictured on the left and compared to an uninfected specimen on the right.
