Alain Chabaud

He was the Director of the Laboratoire de Zoologie (Vers) in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris from 1960 to 1989.

[1][2][3][4] Chabaud's name is honoured in many parasite taxa described by his colleagues.

Several genera of Nematoda were named in the honour of Chabaud, including Chabaudacuaria Mutafchiev & Kinsella, 2012, Chabaudechina Smales, 1999, Chabaudgolvania Freitas, 1958 (also honouring French parasitologist Jean-Yves Golvan).

Chabaudus chabaudi Inglis & Ogden, 1965 has both genus and species names honouring Chabaud.

A species of snake, Liophidium chabaudi Domergue, 1984, was also named in honour of Chabaud.
