A literature survey revealed that 72 helminth species, including 14 known only to the generic level, had been reported from the digestive or respiratory tracts of 28 species of Anatidae in Africa. Most of the digeneans and nematodes reported, were cosmopolitan species that occur in a range of hosts. However, two groups of cestodes, one consisting of cosmopolitan or Eurasian species and the other consisting of species restricted mainly to sub-Saharan Africa, were apparent. A host-parasite list and a detailed parasite-host list provide the synyonomies related to African records, the host and geographical distribution of each species, and the authority and country of origin for each record.
一项文献调查显示，在非洲，已报道28种鸭科动物的消化道或呼吸道中有72种蠕虫，其中14种仅知其属级分类。所报道的大多数复殖吸虫和线虫都是广泛分布于多种宿主的世界性物种。然而，明显存在两组绦虫，一组由世界性或欧亚物种组成，另一组主要由仅限于撒哈拉以南非洲的物种组成。一份宿主-寄生虫列表和一份详细的寄生虫-宿主列表提供了与非洲记录相关的同义词、每个物种的宿主和地理分布，以及每条记录的权威信息和原产国。
