Abstract
All the helminths found in the domestic pigeon are reviewed and notes on their distribution location in the host, and pathogenicity are given. Three helminths, Ascaridia columbae, Capillaria columbae and Echinostoma paraulum, have been found in Canadian pigeons and described, Echinostoma paraulum being recorded for the first time in North America. The lip characteristics of Ascaridia columbae, which until now have been little studied, are described in detail.Keywords
