Five species of helminths were recovered during a survey of 139 North American pine marten (Martes americana) from three areas of Manitoba: Alaria taxideae in 75 marten; Taenia sp. (cf. martis martis) in 16; Taenia mustelae in nine; Baylisascaris devosi in one; Trichinella sp. larvae in one. Taenia mustelae and Taenia sp. (cf. martis martis) were found in two different areas of the province, Taenia sp. (cf. martis martis) being isolated from the more northerly regions. Alaria taxideae, the most prevalent parasite in the survey, was common to all three areas. The intensity of infection and prevalence level of A. taxideae was significantly higher (P less than 0.05) in the southern region of this study. Altogether, male marten had a significantly higher intensity of A. taxideae compared to females, although there was no significant difference in prevalence level. When data for A. taxideae was combined for sexes and for regions a significantly higher prevalence level in young-of-the-year marten was noted compared to juveniles or adults, but no significant difference in intensities among the three age classes was found. No significant differences were detected in the prevalence of A. taxideae, Taenia sp. (cf. martis martis), or T. mustelae between sexes or among age classes from any of the three areas.
在对来自曼尼托巴省三个地区的139只北美松貂（Martes americana）进行的调查中，发现了五种蠕虫：75只松貂体内有阿拉里亚吸虫（Alaria taxideae）；16只体内有某种带绦虫（Taenia sp.，疑似马氏带绦虫Taenia martis martis）；9只体内有鼬带绦虫（Taenia mustelae）；1只体内有德沃西贝利斯蛔虫（Baylisascaris devosi）；1只体内有旋毛虫（Trichinella sp.）幼虫。鼬带绦虫和某种带绦虫（疑似马氏带绦虫）在该省的两个不同地区被发现，某种带绦虫（疑似马氏带绦虫）来自更北部的地区。阿拉里亚吸虫是调查中最常见的寄生虫，在所有三个地区都有发现。在本研究的南部地区，阿拉里亚吸虫的感染强度和流行水平显著更高（P小于0.05）。总体而言，雄性松貂体内阿拉里亚吸虫的感染强度明显高于雌性，尽管流行水平没有显著差异。当将阿拉里亚吸虫的性别和地区数据合并时，发现当年幼貂的流行水平明显高于幼貂或成年貂，但在三个年龄组之间的感染强度没有显著差异。在三个地区中的任何一个地区，阿拉里亚吸虫、某种带绦虫（疑似马氏带绦虫）或鼬带绦虫在性别或年龄组之间的流行率均未检测到显著差异。
