A study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of endoparasites of wild ostriches at Mokolodi Nature Reserve, Gaborone, over a 7-month period. Large numbers of strongyle eggs were recovered from faecal material in April and September and a decline in the strongyle egg counts was evident during June and July. Noteworthy was the absence of helminth eggs in faecal samples collected from chicks and coccidia oocysts from any of the ostriches.
在7个月的时间里,对哈博罗内莫科洛迪自然保护区野生鸵鸟体内寄生虫的流行情况进行了一项研究。4月和9月从粪便中发现了大量圆线虫卵,6月和7月圆线虫卵数量明显下降。值得注意的是,从雏鸟采集的粪便样本中没有发现蠕虫卵,并且在任何鸵鸟的粪便样本中均未发现球虫卵囊。
