Blood smears were examined from 143 penguins of four species (Aptenodytes patagonicus, Eudyptes chrysolophus, E. schlegeli, and Pygoscelis gentoo) from Sub-antarctic Macquarie Island and Heard Island. No blood parasites were reported. The vectors of Hepatozoon albatrossi (reported from three species of albatross) are probably shared by penguins, and it is suggested that the latter are not susceptible to infection with this protozoan. Cestodes of the genus Tetrabothrius were present in large numbers in the intestines of 17 Antarctic petrels (Thalassoica antarctica), and evidence is presented indicating that euphausiid crustaceans may be intermediate hosts.
对来自亚南极地区麦夸里岛和赫德岛的四种企鹅（巴布亚企鹅、冠毛企鹅、史氏角企鹅和巴布亚小企鹅）的143份血液涂片进行了检查。未报告发现血液寄生虫。寄生在三种信天翁体内的阿尔氏肝簇虫的传播媒介可能也为企鹅所共有，并且有人提出企鹅对这种原生动物不易感。在17只南极海燕（南极鹱）的肠道中大量存在四叶槽绦虫属的绦虫，并且有证据表明磷虾类甲壳动物可能是中间宿主。
