'''''Elaeophora abramovi''''' is a [[nematode]] [[parasitism|parasite]] found in the [[hepatic artery|hepatic arteries]] of the [[Moose]] (''Alces alces'') in Russia.

==Discovery and nomenclature==
This species was first described in 1951 from adults found adhering to the inner wall of the hepatic arteries of a Russian [[Moose]] (''Alces alces''), and named ''Alcefilaria abramovi''.<ref>Oshmarin, P.G. and E.V. Belous (1951) Notes on the filariae of wild animals. Trudy Gelmintologicheskoi Laboratorii, Akademiia Nauk SSSR 5:121-127 (in Russian)</ref> In 1974, it was transferred to the genus ''Cordophilus'',<ref>Bain, O. and E. Haesevoets (1974) "Affinités entre deux filaires de l'appariel circulatoire, l'une parasite de bovidés, l'autre de cervidés: ''Cordophila sagittus'' (Linstow, 1907) et ''C. abramovi'' (Oshmarin et Belous, 1951) nov. comb." ''Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée'' 49:119-122.</ref> and in 1976 it was transferred to the genus ''Elaeophora''.<ref>Anderson, R.C. and O. Bain (1976) "CIH Keys to the Nematode Parasites of Vertebrates." Commonwealth Agriculture Bureaux: Farnham, England, Vol. 3, pp. 59-116.</ref> Consequently, some of the older literature on this species uses the genus names ''Alcefilaria'' or ''Cordophilus''.

== Hosts and geographic distribution ==
''E. abramovi'' has been found in the hepatic arteries of European [[Moose|elk]] (''Alces alces''), [[Reindeer]] (''Rangifer tarandus'') and [[Red deer]] (''Cervus elaphus''), as discussed in.<ref>Hernandez Rodriguez, S., F. Martinez Gomez, and P. Gutierrez Palomino (1986) "''Elaeophora elaphi'' n. sp. (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) parasite of the Red Deer (''Cervus elaphus''), with a key of species of the genus ''Elaeophora''." ''Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée'' 61(4):457-463.</ref> ''E. abramovi'' has only been found in [[Russia]].
