title: [Preliminary studies on parasitic fauna of hares introduced on the Chrzaszczewska Island, West Pomerania].
abstract: The study were carried out in the years 2006-2007 on 57 semi-free living hares. The faeces of these animals were examined by the flotation and McMaster methods. All hares were infected with coccidia. Following six Eimeria species were found: E. leporis, E. europaea, E. robertsoni, E. semisculpta, E. townsendi and E. hungarica. The invasion of the species E. leporis, E. europaea and E. robertsoni were characterized of the highest intensity. A low infection of two nematodes genera Trichostrongylus and Graphidium were found too. The study will be continued in the year 2008.
