[Parasites in the DDR. 5. The occurrence of helminths in the red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.)].
The authors describe the results of researches on the helminthofauna of red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) from different hunting-areals in the GDR. The results are compared with those of other authors from European region. From the 55 helminths known in the red fox, 2 species of Trematoda, 4 species of Cestoda and 8 species of Nematoda are found in the GDR. Some information are given about the geographical distribution of the helminths found, the extense- and intense-infection of hosts, and the importance of the red fox as vector of helminthes in health for man and animals.
