Parasites of South African wildlife. VI. Helminths of blue duikers, Cephalophus monticola, in Natal

Abstract

The helminths of 3 blue duikers, Cephalophus monticola, from 3 nature reserves in Natal were collected, counted and identified. Taenia hydatigena larvae, a race of Cooperia rotundispiculum, gongylonema sp., Setaria sp., Trichostrongylus anomalus, Trichostrongylus angistris, Trichostrongylus falculatus and Trichostrongylus rugatus appear to be new parasite records for blue duikers in South Africa.
