[Harboring of helminth parasites by the European bison (Bison bonasus L.) and deer (Cervidae) in the Białowieza forest].
Parasitological autopsy of 31 european bison , 9 red-deer and 3 roe-deer was made in Białowieza Forest in the period 1983-1988. Together 20 species of nematodes were found, from them as much as 18 in bison , 6 in red-deer and 8 in roe-deer . The highest intensity and 100% of extensity was shown by nematodes from subfamily Ostertagiinae. Four species of this subfamily (O. leptospicularis, O. kolchida, S. boehmi i S. mathevossiani) have been permanently adapted by bison from cervids, however two species of nematodes typical for bison and cattle (O. ostertagii and O. lyrata) have not been adopted by deer . Besides, bison adopted from deer the following species of nematodes: T. capricola, C. pectinata, N. roscidus, N. europaeus and from moose N. alcidis. Bison gave to red-deer only C. bilobata, and roe-deer have not adopted any nematodes from bison . B. trigonocephalum and S. dagestanica found in roe-deer are in Poland typical parasites of moose .
