Hexametra boddaertii is a parasitic roundworm belonging to the family Ascarididae. "H. boddaertii" was originally described from a single specimen of "Mastigodryas boddaerti", a South American colubrine snake. Other neotropical colubrids identified as hosts to "H. boddaertii" include "Oxyrhopus trigeminus", "Philodryas patagoniensis", "Spilotes pullatus", "Trimorphodon biscutatus", "Philodryas baroni", and "Oxyrhopus guibei". It is thought that "Hexametra" may be the causative agent of ocular disease, diffuse unilateral subacute neuroretinitis, (DSUN), in Brazil.
