Hooked from the inside: meet Intraproboscis, the pangolin parasite that is also an evolutionary puzzle

Wikipedia's Featured Article for May 22, 2026 is Intraproboscis, a genus of thorny-headed worm first described in 2021 after a five-year-old black-bellied pangolin died from intestinal perforation in the Central African Republic. Its sole species, I. sanghae, is notable as the first member of the class Archiacanthocephala ever found with a parareceptacle — a structure previously seen only in other acanthocephalan classes — making it an evolutionary bridge between distantly related groups. Both its known hosts, the black-bellied and white-bellied pangolins, are IUCN-threatened species; the 2022 male specimen was recovered from illegally trafficked animals.
