Abstract:
Helminths and bot fly larvae were collected from 11 wild ungulate species on a game ranch in the
Central Province of Zambia. New host-parasite records are: Calicophoron sp. from defassa waterbuck
Kobus ellipsiprymnus defassa and Kafue lechwe Kobus leche kafuensis; Avitellina centripunctata,
Gaigeria pachyscelis and Gedoelstia cristata from tsessebe Damaliscus lunatus lunatus; Cooperia
rotundispiculum from common reedbuck Redunca arundinum; Dictyocaulus filaria from greater kudu
Tragelaphus strepsiceros; Dictyocaulus sp. from tsessebe and defassa waterbuck and Strobiloestrus
sp. from sable antelope Hippotragus niger. Most of the other parasites collected are first records for
Zambia and thus extend the distribution ranges of several species.
