Between 1989 and 1991, 29 Abert squirrels (Sciurus aberti) and 45 red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) were collected in New Mexico and examined for parasites. Of 29 S. aberti examined, 86.2% (25/29) were infected with at least 1 parasite species. Helminths were found in 62.1% (18/29) of S. aberti; 37.9% (11/29) were infected with fleas and 37.9% (11/29) with the coccidian Eimeria tamiasciuri. Among T. hudsonicus, 82.5% of the squirrels examined were infected with at least 1 parasite. Helminths were found in 57.8% (26/45) of T. hudsonicus; 22.2% (10/45) were infected with fleas and 26.7% (12/45) with Eimeria tamiasciuri. Citellinema quadrivittati was found in squirrels of both species; 55.2% (16/29) of S. aberti were infected, with 57.8% (26/45) of T. hudsonicus carrying the parasite. Enterobius sciuri was only found in S. aberti with 17.2% (5/29) carrying the infection. One cestode, Hymenolepis sp., was found only in T. hudsonicus with 6.7% (3/45) carrying the infection. Four species of flea were found on squirrels of both species. Ceratophyllus vison was found on 6.9% (2/29) of S. aberti and 6.7% (3/45) of T. hudsonicus examined. Opisodasys robustus was found on 6.9% (2/29) of S. aberti and 8.8% (4/45) of T. hudsonicus examined. Orchopeas caedens caedens was found on 3.4% (1/29) of S. aberti and 6.7% (3/45) of T. hudsonicus examined. Orchopeas neotomae was found on 10.3% (3/29) of S. aberti and 6.7% (3/45) of T. hudsonicus examined. Two species of flea were only found on T. hudsonicus; Orchopeas leucopus was found on 2.2% (1/45) and Oropsylla idahoensis was found on 2.2% (1/45) of the T. hudsonicus examined.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
1989年至1991年间，在新墨西哥州收集了29只亚伯特松鼠（Sciurus aberti）和45只红松鼠（Tamiasciurus hudsonicus），并对其进行寄生虫检查。在检查的29只亚伯特松鼠中，86.2%（25/29）感染了至少一种寄生虫。在62.1%（18/29）的亚伯特松鼠中发现了蠕虫；37.9%（11/29）感染了跳蚤，37.9%（11/29）感染了球虫艾美耳属的塔氏艾美耳球虫。在红松鼠中，82.5%的检查松鼠感染了至少一种寄生虫。在57.8%（26/45）的红松鼠中发现了蠕虫；22.2%（10/45）感染了跳蚤，26.7%（12/45）感染了塔氏艾美耳球虫。在两种松鼠中均发现了四线西太线虫；55.2%（16/29）的亚伯特松鼠感染了该寄生虫，57.8%（26/45）的红松鼠携带该寄生虫。松鼠蛲虫仅在亚伯特松鼠中发现，17.2%（5/29）携带该感染。一种绦虫，膜壳绦虫属，仅在红松鼠中发现，6.7%（3/45）携带该感染。在两种松鼠身上发现了四种跳蚤。在检查的亚伯特松鼠中，6.9%（2/29）发现了海豹角叶蚤，6.7%（3/45）的红松鼠发现了该跳蚤。在检查的亚伯特松鼠中，6.9%（2/29）发现了粗壮后蚤，8.8%（4/45）的红松鼠发现了该跳蚤。在检查的亚伯特松鼠中，3.4%（1/29）发现了卡氏新蚤指名亚种，6.7%（3/45）的红松鼠发现了该跳蚤。在检查的亚伯特松鼠中，10.3%（3/29）发现了新鼠蚤，6.7%（3/45）的红松鼠发现了该跳蚤。两种跳蚤仅在红松鼠中发现；在检查的红松鼠中，2.2%（1/45）发现了白足新蚤，2.2%（1/45）发现了爱达荷山蚤。（摘要截选至250字）
