[Parasites in the GDR.1. Studies on helminths occurrence in European wild pigs (Sus scrofa)].
In two different hunting-grounds in the north-eastern part of the GDR from November 1972 to March 1974 the authors tested a series of 102 killed wild boars, aged mostly from 7 month to 3 years by means of helminthological dissection and by coprological methods for helminthic stages. From more than 30 well known species of helminths the following 10 species were found: Cysticercus tenuicollis, Echinococcus hydatidosus, Ascaris suum, Ascarops strongylina, Physocephalus sexalatus, Globocephalus urosubulatus, Metastrongylus elongatus, M.pudentodectus, M.salmi and Trichuris suis. Trichinella spiralis could not be found in any case. Finally some information given of extensity and intensity of helminth-infection, parasite-host-relation with regard to the age of host and the occurrence of helminths of wild-boars in the middle-european region.
