A quantitative study of the life cycle ofSkrjabingylus nasicola was made. Before estimating the losses at each level of the cycle, we needed to know the location of the infectious larval stage in the paratenic host. We found that a significant number of L3 encapsulate in the anterior part of the paratenic host. The cephalic glandular zones, salivary and lacrymal glands, and maybe the musculature and connective tissues ofApodemus sp. andClethrionomys glareolus are preferred waiting regions.Of…

The prevalence of sinus roundworms in rabies-negative skunks suggested that behavioral changes because of skrjabingylosis might have been responsible for the submission by the public of some skunks for rabies testing.

Two species of nematodes and two species of cestodes were found in the stomachs and intestines with the following extent of infection: Capillaria putorii was detected in 86.9% of the stone-martens, Molineus europaeus was found in 10.4% ofThe animals and no larvae of Tichinella spiralis were found.

Fresh skulls of 55 Mustela nivalis L., 172 M. erminea L., 35 M. putorius L., 126 M. martes L. were investigated for parasitic helminths and the smallest proportion of lesions in comparison with the frequency and intensity of invasion was found in M.Putorius.

In all seasons female stoats ate more mice and ground wetas, and males more opossum and ‘unidentified mammals’ (mostly opossums and rats) and grouping the prey as large, small, or medium showed that females ate more small prey.
