| gastrointestinal helminths of risso's dolphin grampus griseus from the western mediterranean. | the gastrointestinal helminth fauna of 17 risso's dolphins grampus griseus (cuvier, 1812) from the western mediterranean was analysed. five helminth species were found. adults and juveniles of hadwenius delamurei were collected from the duodenum of 7 animals. adults were located significantly more anteriorly than juveniles, which is compatible with a previous hypothesis that species of hadwenius undergo an ontogenetic migration towards the anterior duodenum. eggs from pholeter gastrophilus appea ... | 2003 | 12887258 |
