Cats are host to two other species of Joyeuxiella that are found mainly in Africa. Joyeuxiellafuhrmanni has been reported from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the Congo (Baker et al., 1989; Jones, 1983). It has also been reported from cats in Turkey (Burgu et al., 1985) and in Palestine (Witenberg, 1932). Joyeuxiellafuhrmanni tends to be a smaller worm than Joyeuxiellapasqualei having a maximum length of 9 cm , and often being only 2 to 3 cm in length. Joyeuxiellaechinorhyncoides has been reported from cats in the middle East and in India (Gupta, 1970; Jones, 1983). This parasite is in recognized by its long rostellum.
