This study provides the first data on the helminth fauna of the coyote (Canis latrans) in insular Newfoundland. Sixty-nine coyotes were collected between 2001 and 2003 and examined for helminths. A total of 10 helminth species were recorded: the cestodes Taenia ovis krabbei (9%), Taenia hydatigena (4%), Taenia pisiformis (1%), and Mesocestoides spp. (5%); and the nematodes Toxocara canis (19%), Toxascaris leonina (1%), Crenosoma vulpis (19%), Physaloptera rara (6%), Uncinaria stenocephala (3%), and Angiostrongylus vasorum (1%). No significant differences (P< or =0.05) were detected between sexes. Mesocestoides spp., T. canis, and C. vulpis were more prevalent in juveniles than adults. Angiostrongylus vasorum is reported in coyotes for the second time in Newfoundland, Canada.
本研究提供了关于纽芬兰岛郊狼（犬属草原狼）体内蠕虫动物区系的首批数据。2001年至2003年间共收集了69只郊狼，并对其进行了蠕虫检查。共记录到10种蠕虫：绦虫有绵羊带绦虫（9%）、泡状带绦虫（4%）、豆状带绦虫（1%）和中绦虫属（5%）；线虫有犬弓首蛔虫（19%）、狮弓蛔虫（1%）、狐肺线虫（19%）、罕见泡翼线虫（6%）、窄头钩虫（3%）和血管圆线虫（1%）。未检测到性别间的显著差异（P≤0.05）。中绦虫属、犬弓首蛔虫和狐肺线虫在幼体中的感染率高于成体。血管圆线虫在加拿大纽芬兰岛的郊狼体内被再次发现。
