A class of distributions applicable to the description of the number of nematodes parasitizing birds.
We define the class of bivariate binomial distributions as Poisson distributions transformed by a binomial dilution and mixing with a gamma distribution. They are used to study the number of nematodes, considering the sex ratio, parasitizing birds.
