Abstract
Two Knots, among 88 dissected, contained the trematodeCyclocoelum mutabile. One represents the first record of this trematode from the Afrotropics. Both birds showed retardation of moult, and it is possible that such parasites have an indirect lethal effect, and that they affect breeding performance of this migrant wader with a tight annual schedule.
