Stomachs from subadult male northern fur seals (SAMs) (Callorhinus ursinus) (n = 5,950) from St. Paul Island, Alaska, were examined from 1987 to 1999 for lesions and parasites. On gross examination of these stomachs, parasite nodules were evident in 92% of the stomachs and active and healing ulcers were found in 14% and 10%, respectively. Prevalence of nematodes from 1987 to 1997 was 88% for 5,700 SAMs for which numbers of parasites were estimated but not identified to the genus level. All nematodes recovered from 250 SAMs examined in 1998 (n = 124; 99% infected) and in 1999 (n = 126; 91% infected) were identified and counted. Prevalences in 1998 and 1999 were 5% and 0% for Anisakis spp., 52% and 18% for Contracaecum spp., and 96% and 89% for Pseudoterranova spp., respectively.
1987年至1999年期间,对来自阿拉斯加圣保罗岛的未成年雄性北海狗(Callorhinus ursinus)(n = 5950)的胃部进行了检查,以确定是否存在病变和寄生虫。在对这些胃部进行大体检查时,92%的胃部可见寄生虫结节,分别有14%和10%的胃部发现了活动性溃疡和愈合中的溃疡。1987年至1997年期间,对5700只未成年雄性北海狗的线虫感染率进行了估算,但未鉴定到属的水平,感染率为88%。对1998年检查的250只未成年雄性北海狗(n = 124;99%感染)和1999年检查的250只未成年雄性北海狗(n = 126;91%感染)体内回收的所有线虫进行了鉴定和计数。1998年和1999年,异尖线虫属的感染率分别为5%和0%,对盲囊线虫属的感染率分别为52%和18%,对新海兽蛔线虫属的感染率分别为96%和89%。
