Internal parasite species found were as follows: Taenia hydatigena (cysticercus), Camelostrongylus mentulatus, Haemonchus cortortus, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichostrongylus probolurus, Nematodirus spathiger, Oesophagostomum sp. and Trichuris sp. C. mentulatus and T. probolurus are two helminth species not indigenous to the United States which have survived translocation from India to parts of Texas.
