Description	Specimens of ascaridid nematode species Dujardinascaris madagascariensis Chabaud et Caballero, 1966 were obtained by parasitological dissection from the stomach of a perished Nile Crocodile at Lake Turkana (Kenya). Nematodes have been studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine and redescribe their external morphology. Partial 18S region was used for the phylogenetic analysis.
