Abstract: This is a revision of the catalogue published in 1965 (McDonald, 1965, Wildlife Disease No. 46, 7 microfiche, 392 pages). This revision includes new material (data from 560 additional references, with 154 additional parasites) and a number of corrections. This catalogue summarizes the information available on each helminth reported as a parasite of waterfowl ("waterfowl" is used here as a term for the Anatidae only): the names applied to it, its life history, hosts, location in the host, geographical distribution, frequency of record in waterfowl, and importance as a cause of disease. This paper is incomplete in certain respects; no general catalogue can include all the pertinent literature of the world and new information is constantly being added. About 120 papers each year record data and describe about 15 new species of helminths in waterfowl. |
