Abstract:
A report is given on the helminths collected from 4 bontbok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, which
died following capture at the Bontebok National Park, Swellendam, and transfer to the National
Zoological Gardens, Pretoria. Seven of these helminths are new host records. Lungworms submitted
to the institute for identification over the last 2 years are also reported; these were all Dictyocaulus
magna. The various scientific and common names that have been applied to the bontbok in the past
are reviewed.
