Helminths of Wild Birds found in the Aberystwyth Area | Journal of Helminthology | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Extract

In investigating the occurrence of helminthic parasites of wild birds it must be borne in mind that birds are migratory animals so that their parasites may be carried over a wide area. Also it is known that the intermediate hosts of bird helminths are in many cases very widely distributed and that in other cases species nearly related may act as alternative intermediate hosts.
