Between January and April 1983, the Borgu sector of the Kainji Lake National Park was visited and faecal droppings of several game animals belonging to the groups of Carnivora, Artiodactyla, Proboscidae and Primates were collected and processed for the presence of helminth ova and larvae. Faeces were also collected from the rectum of domestic ruminants which had grazed on the periphery of the park. Post mortem examinations were conducted on a baboon and an adult Monitor Lizard. Most of the game animals possessed multiple helminth infection but the egg-counts were generally low. Larvae of Haemonchus, Oesophagostomum and Trichostrongylus were common to wild and domestic ruminants while larvae of hook- and lungworms were mostly restricted to carnivores and primates. Some of the helminths found in the stomach and intestine of baboon during post-mortem were of public health interest.
1983年1月至4月期间，对卡因吉湖国家公园的博尔古地区进行了考察，收集了食肉目、偶蹄目、长鼻目和灵长目等几类野生动物的粪便，并对其进行处理，以检查其中是否存在蠕虫卵和幼虫。还从在公园周边放牧的家养反刍动物直肠采集了粪便。对一只狒狒和一只成年巨蜥进行了尸检。大多数野生动物都感染了多种蠕虫，但虫卵计数通常较低。野生和家养反刍动物体内常见血矛线虫、结节虫和毛圆线虫的幼虫，而钩虫和肺线虫的幼虫大多仅见于食肉动物和灵长类动物。尸检时在狒狒胃和肠道中发现的一些蠕虫具有公共卫生意义。
