title: [The helminth fauna of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes LINNE, 1758) in Nordhessen and Ostwestfalen. 2. Nematodes].
abstract: Between November 1989 and June 1990 a total number of 397 foxes were examined for the presence of nematodes in the stomach and the small intestine and 403 foxes for the presence of Trichinella spiralis larvae. The animals came from the districts of Kassel, Arnsberg and Detmold. In 32.7% of the foxes infections with Toxocara canis were found, in 11.1% Toxascaris leonina, in 3.8% Ancylostoma caninum, in 3.5% Uncinaria stenocephala and in 2.3% Capillaria species. In most cases the number of nematodes per fox was low. Only Toxascaris leonina was frequently found with more than 20 specimen per animal. Trichinella spiralis larvae were not found in any of the foxes.
