Twelve mountain zebra which were culled at monthly intervals on the farm " Kelpie " in South West Africa/Namibia were examined for helminths. The zebras varied in age from 2-15 years, the middle group of which, aged 4-7 years, had the highest worm burdens. Fourteen species of nematodes belonging to the families Atractidae , Strongylidae , Oxyuridae , Setariidae and Spiruridae were recovered. The highest worm burdens were those of Crossocephalus sp. with 692-61 066 680 and Probstmayria vivipara with 1 257 810-42 004 300. The predominance of the atractids is discussed. The nematodes consistently present were: Cylicodontophorus n. sp. (44-2 107), Triodontophorus spp. (2-934), Cylindropharynx spp. (20-2 332), Crossocephalus sp. and P. vivipara. Two new species, Cylicostephanus longiconus and Cylicodontophorus n. sp., were reported. An additional 3 mountain zebra, culled in the Namib - Naukluft Park, were also examined for helminths. Of 3 zebras ranging in age from 2-7 years, the 2 older animals had the highest helminth burden. Ten species of the nematodes belonging to the same families mentioned above were recovered. The only Spiruridae present were 3 Habronema majus in 1 zebra. The highest worm burdens were those of Crossocephalus sp. with 64 052-883 070 and P. vivipara with 50 720-220 200. The nematodes consistently present were the same as those in the " Kelpie " zebra. In addition, a 2nd, new species of Cylicodontophorus was reported.
对西南非洲/纳米比亚“凯尔皮”农场每月定期捕杀的12匹山斑马进行了蠕虫检查。这些斑马年龄在2至15岁之间，其中4至7岁的中间组蠕虫负担最重。共发现了属于艾氏科、圆线科、尖尾科、丝状科和旋尾科的14种线虫。蠕虫负担最重的是交叉头属线虫，有692至61066680条，以及胎生普罗布斯特线虫，有1257810至42004300条。讨论了艾氏科线虫的优势地位。始终存在的线虫有：新种圆齿冠线虫（44至2107条）、三齿冠属线虫（2至934条）、柱咽属线虫（20至2332条）、交叉头属线虫和胎生普罗布斯特线虫。报告了两个新种，即长锥圆冠线虫和新种圆齿冠线虫。另外还对在纳米布-诺克卢夫特公园捕杀的3匹山斑马进行了蠕虫检查。在3匹年龄在2至7岁的斑马中，2匹年龄较大的动物蠕虫负担最重。发现了属于上述相同科的10种线虫。仅在1匹斑马中发现了3条大型胃蝇属线虫，这是唯一的旋尾科线虫。蠕虫负担最重的是交叉头属线虫，有64052至883070条，以及胎生普罗布斯特线虫，有50720至220200条。始终存在的线虫与“凯尔皮”斑马中的相同。此外，还报告了圆齿冠线虫的第二个新种。
