Abstract
The present report describes the case of small intestinal impaction with Parascaris equorum in captive zebra from the zoo “Pionirska dolina” in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A massive burden of nematodes occluding the lumen of the small intestine was observed. In addition to severe trauma of the muscle of rear leg, intestinal impaction was probably the main cause of death in the presented case. Regular control of the feces for the presence of parasitic eggs, deworming and husbandry measures were commented.
