title: [New hosts of some nematodes--parasites of Passeriformes].
abstract: Parasitic nematodes very rarely exist in birds that are completely or predominantly herbivorous. The investigation of the helminth fauna of Passeriformes in the region of Lower Silesia revealed new hosts for some nematode species. We found in Acrocephalus scirpaceus--Acuaria subula and Microtetrameres inermis; in Fringilla coelebs and in Luscinia megarhynchos--Dispharynx nasuta; in Passer montanus--Capillaria angusta; in Phylloscopus trochiloides--Acuaria subula as well in Phylloscopus collybita--Microtetrameres sp. These nematodes have not been so far reported from these bird species.
