Also known as: '''''Non-migratory large strongyles
==Introduction==
All affiliates of the genus ''Triodontophorus'' are large, non-migratory strongyles. They are most commonly found in the colon, where they may cause significant damage to the mucosal surface, and subsequent ulceration.
Little is known of the life cycle of the ''Triodontophorus'' genus, but it is believed to be similar to that of the [[Cyathostomins]].
There are four species in the ''Triodontophorus'' genus of veterinary significance; ''T. brevicauda'', ''T. nipponicus'', ''T. serratus'', and ''T. tenuicollis''.
