[taxonomic, topical and quantitative structure of the community of intestinal flukes (digenea) of mallards, anas platyrhynchos linnaeus, 1758 from the area of szczecin].	taxonomic, topical and quantitative structure of the community of intestinal flukes (digenea) of mallards, anas platyrhynchos linnaeus, 1758 from the area of szczecin. a total of 55 mallards (anas platyrhynchos l.) from the area of szczecin were examined for the presence of intestinal flukes (digenea). this study covered the taxonomic structure (specific composition and taxonomic affiliation of the parasites), topical structure (parasites' distribution within the host's organism), and quantitati ...	2002	16894718
using the mallard to biomonitor heavy metal contamination of wetlands in north-western poland.	contents of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, nickel, lead and cadmium were determined in the brain, pectoral muscle, kidney, liver and bones of the mallard (anas platyrhynchos), a cosmopolitan, herbivorous duck species. both immature (im; in the first year of life) and older (adult, ad) ducks were studied. the birds originated from wetlands in two areas in north-western poland, one located in the słońsk waterfowl reserve (n = 32 im + 24 ad) and the other near the city of szczecin (n = 21 im + 21 a ...	2004	15016504
[intestinal nematodes of the aythyini ducks in western pomerania].	intestinal nematodes of the aythyini ducks in western pomerania. biology, including ecology, of the aythyini renders them particularly attractive subjects of parasitological studies. the tribe is represented in poland by 4 nesting species; two of them, aythya fuligula and a. ferina, are very abundant game birds. however, their helminth fauna, including nematodes, is still very poorly known. this study was aimed at quantifying the structure of parasitic intestinal nematodes of the western pomeran ...	2005	16838626
[aythya fuligula--new host for retinometra pittalugai lopez-neyra, 1932 (cestoda, hymenolepididae) recorded in poland for the first time].	during standard parasitological studies of the tufted duck aythya fuligula (linnaeus, 1758), obtained from fishermen from west pomerania, three cestode specimens were found in the jejunum of hosts. they were determined as retinometra pittalugai (lopez-neyra, 1932) on the basis of the cirrus's size, shape of stylet and rostellar hooks. this is the first record of this species in poland, since this parasite was earlier recorded only in anas platyrhynchos f. dom., aythya marila, a. ferina and bucep ...	2008	19338226
