The nematode Ashworthius sidemi is a typical parasite of Asiatic deer, particularly sika deer (Cervus nippon). It was probably first carried into Poland by migrating red deer. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and intensity of A. sidemi infection in roe deer and red deer in the Lower Silesian Wilderness in the winter season 2015/2016. Parasitological necropsy of 34 abomasa of red deer from Forest District Ruszów was performed. The prevalence of A. sidemi infection was found to be 91.1%, and the intensity to range from 10 to 2680 nematodes, with a mean intensity of 394 parasites. This prevalence of ashworthiosis and maximum intensity of infection were respectively 17.2% and 38% higher than observed in the previous season (2013/2014). The mean intensity was also slightly higher than reported previously.
线虫西德尼阿什沃思线虫是亚洲鹿尤其是梅花鹿（日本鹿）的典型寄生虫。它可能最初是由迁徙的马鹿带入波兰的。本研究的目的是确定2015/2016年冬季下西里西亚荒野狍和马鹿中西德尼阿什沃思线虫感染的患病率和感染强度。对鲁苏夫森林区34只马鹿的皱胃进行了寄生虫学尸检。发现西德尼阿什沃思线虫感染的患病率为91.1%，感染强度为10至2680条线虫，平均感染强度为394条寄生虫。这种阿什沃思病的患病率和最大感染强度分别比上一季（2013/2014年）观察到的高17.2%和38%。平均感染强度也略高于先前报道的水平。
