Hassalstrongylus is a genus of nematode worms that infect mostly muroid rodents from eastern North America to South America. The genus is part of the Heligmonellidae and related to genera like Stilestrongylus.
- Hassalstrongylus aduncus (Sigmodon hispidus, Rattus sp.)
- Hassalstrongylus argentinus
- Hassalstrongylus beta
- Hassalstrongylus bocqueti (Oryzomys couesi, Handleyomys melanotis, Oligoryzomys fulvescens)
- Hassalstrongylus chabaudi (Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos)
- Hassalstrongylus dessetae (Neacomys sp.)
- Hassalstrongylus dollfusi (Mus musculus)
- Hassalstrongylus echalieri (Oryzomyini sp.)
- Hassalstrongylus epsilon (Nectomys squamipes, Akodon cursor)
- Hassalstrongylus forresteri
- Hassalstrongylus hoineffae (Oligoryzomys nigripes, Calomys callosus, Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos)
- Hassalstrongylus lichtenfelsi
- Hassalstrongylus mazzai
- Hassalstrongylus musculi (Oryzomys couesi, Handleyomys melanotis, Oligoryzomys fulvescens)
- Hassalstrongylus proechimysi
- Hassalstrongylus puntanus (Graomys griseoflavus)
- Hassalstrongylus schadi
- Hassalstrongylus zeta (Galea spixii, Cerradomys subflavus, Nectomys squamipes, Oligoryzomys nigripes, Akodon cursor, Euryoryzomys russatus)
The proposed species Hassalstrongylus multiovatus, described from Akodon simulator, is a synonym of Trichofreitasia lenti from Oligoryzomys flavescens.
