A total of 25 grey rhebuck, Pelea capreolus, and 16 bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, were shot for parasite recovery at bi-monthly intervals in the Bontebok National Park, south-western Cape Province, from February 1983 to December 1983 and February 1983 to February 1984, respectively. The grey rhebuck and the bontebok each harboured 9 nematode species and the latter animals 1 cestode species. Ostertagia hamata was most abundant and most prevalent in the grey rhebuck and Longistrongylus curvispiculum and Nematodirus spathiger in the bontebok. Longistrongylus schrenki is recorded for the first time in grey rhebuck, and Trichostrongylus falculatus and Moniezia expansa in bontebok. The total nematode burdens of the bontebok were considerably larger than those of the grey rhebuck. No clear pattern of seasonal abundance for the helminths of either host species was evident.
1983年2月至12月以及1983年2月至1984年2月期间，分别每隔两个月在开普省西南部的邦特布克国家公园射杀25只灰小羚羊（Pelea capreolus）和16只邦特布克羚羊（Damaliscus dorcas dorcas）以采集寄生虫。灰小羚羊和邦特布克羚羊体内均有9种线虫，后者还有1种绦虫。哈氏奥斯特线虫在灰小羚羊中数量最多、感染最普遍，弯尖长圆线虫和矛形细颈线虫在邦特布克羚羊中数量最多。施氏长圆线虫首次在灰小羚羊中被记录，镰刀形毛圆线虫和扩展莫尼茨绦虫在邦特布克羚羊中被记录。邦特布克羚羊体内的线虫总负荷明显高于灰小羚羊。两种宿主动物的蠕虫均未表现出明显的季节性丰度模式。
