[The helminth fauna of wild boars of the west Berlin forests].
Samples of muscles and internal organs obtained from 96 wild boars in the forests of West Berlin between September 1989 and August 1990, were examined for helminths. Nine nematode species, Metastrongylus pudendotectus, M. salmi, M. confusus, M. apri, Physocephalus sexalatus, Ascarops strongylina, Globocephalus urosubulatus, Ascaris suum and Trichuris suis belonging to five families could be found. Larvae of Toxocara spp. were isolated from most of the enzymatically digested samples of the gastrointestinal tract. In a few cases juvenile forms of Cysticercus tenuicollis could be identified. Trichinella spiralis and trematodes were not found. The correlation between helminth infection and age and sex of the wild boars as well as time and site of shooting are discussed.
