Fecal examinations revealed that at least 10 of 21 (48%) captive red wolves (Canis rufus) and eight of 12 (67%) free-ranging red wolves were infected with intestinal parasites. No captive wolves and only one of seven reintroduced wolves had dirofilariasis. Ticks were collected from 10 of 21 (48%) captive wolves and nine of 12 (75%) free-ranging animals. Ivermectin administered at a dosage of 50 micrograms/kg of estimated body weight every 30 to 60 days apparently prevented or ameliorated parasitism in red wolves.
粪便检查显示，21只圈养红狼（犬属鲁弗斯种）中至少有10只（48%）以及12只自由放养红狼中有8只（67%）感染了肠道寄生虫。没有圈养狼感染心丝虫病，7只重新引入的狼中只有1只感染。从21只圈养狼中的10只（48%）以及12只自由放养动物中的9只（75%）身上采集到了蜱虫。每30至60天以每千克估计体重50微克的剂量施用伊维菌素，显然可以预防或改善红狼的寄生虫感染情况。
