title: Morphological variations in nematode parasites after a radioactive fall out: preliminary results.
abstract: Preliminary results from a survey of abomasal parasites of wild ruminant Rupicapra rupicapra are reported. The study was carried out after the fall out of radioactive contamination from the nuclear accident at Chernobyl (May 1986) and showed the high prevalence of teratologic forms in representatives of Ostertaginae (3.1% of the entire population of male worms).
