Les dominantes du parasitisme helminthique chez les bovins en Ituri (Haut-Zaïre). I. La faune helminthique

Abstract

The identification of cattle helminths in Ituri was carried out by post mortem examinations in slaughterhouses and tracer calves. The thirty diagnosed species were typical of wet tropical areas of Africa. The presence of Dictyocaulus viviparus, Ostertagia ostertagi and Haemonchus similis and the absence of Echinococcus granulosus constituted the original features of this inventory.
