title: Experimental and natural infections of Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatidae) in waterfowl and shore birds.
abstract: The occurrence of Eustrongylides sp. is reported for five species of fish-eating birds collected in the western-basin region of Lake Erie. Mature specimens of E. tubifex were recovered from 5 of 74 laboratory-reared Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) infected experimentally with larval worms taken from Yellow perch, Perca flavescens.
