| severe parasitism in an opossum. | chronic debilitation and anemia were observed in a free-living opossum (didelphis marsupialis) heavily parasitized by physaloptera turgida, brachylaima virginianum, and cruzia americana. chronic interstitial pneumonia associated with capillaria aerophila and a metastrongyloid nematode also was present. | 1975 | 1152183 |
| helminth parasites of the raccoon (procyon lotor) from north-central arkansas. | twenty-three species of helminths (4 trematodes, 2 cestodes, 14 nematodes, and 3 acanthocephalans) were found in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, pancreas, tongue, urinary bladder, and subcutaneous tissues of 30 live-trapped or hunter-shot raccoons from north-central arkansas between november 1989 and april 1990. helminths were not detected in the brain, diaphragm, gallbladder, heart, liver, reproductive system, or trachea. each raccoon examined was infected with 3 or more of the following hel ... | 1992 | 1738063 |
