a survey to identify the important macroparasites of rock partridge (alectoris graeca saxatilis) in trentino, italy.	a preliminary survey of the intestinal helminth community of rock partridge (alectoris graeca saxatilis) was undertaken in the italian province of trentino where the host population exhibits cyclic fluctuations in abundance. six helminth species were recorded from 38 rock partridge intestines collected during the hunting season between october and november 1994. nematoda were the most prevalent (53%) with lower prevalence of trematoda (11%) and cestoda (8%). ascaridia compar (schrank, 1790) and ...	1997	9802088
intensity of nematode infections in cyclic and non-cyclic rock partridge (alectoris graeca saxatilis) populations.	populations of rock partridge (alectoris graeca saxatilis), in the trentino province of italy, exhibit cyclic fluctuations in abundance associated with relatively dry habitat. one of the hypothesis to explain these cycles is that survival of some free living parasitic stages and rates of infection are greater in these areas leading to higher parasite burden. this hypothesis was examined by investigating the intensity of parasite infection in cyclic and non cyclic rock partridge populations. anal ...	1999	10870561
helminths from willow grouse ( lagopus lagopus ) in two localities in north norway.	a total of 77 adult and 123 juvenile willow grouse ( lagopus lagopus ) from the island of karlsöy, and 75 adult and 63 juvenile willow grouse from sennaland on the mainland of north norway were examined for helminths. raillietina urogalli and hymenolepis microps , and ascaridia compar and syngamus trachea were found. all four species occurred regularly in grouse from karlsöy between april and september-october, but only h. microps was frequently found in birds from sennaland. s. trachea only par ...	1977	24228962
