Abstract
Extract The available literature on parasites of wild ruminants in New Zealand has tended to aim at a particular host species or a particular group of parasites — e.g., Sweatman and Williams (1962) Andrews, J. R. H. 1964. The arthropod and helminth parasites of red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) in New Zealand. Trans. R. Soc. N.Z., 5: 97–121. [Google Scholar] on the taeniids of wild ruminants, Andrews (1964) Andrews, J. R. H. 1969a. A guide to the identification of helminth parasites recorded from wild ruminants in New Zealand. Tuatara, 17: 67–81. [Google Scholar] on the arthropod and helminth parasites of red deer. The present work arises from a broader study of the parasites of wild ruminants, parts of which have already been published ( Andrews, 1969a Andrews, J. R. H. 1969b. Parasites in wild ruminants. N.Z. Jl Agric, 119(6): 84–85. [Google Scholar] , b Andrews, J. R. H. 1970a. The teratology of spicules in some trichostrongyline nematodes (Family Trichostrongylidae Leiper, 1912). J. Parasit., 56: 402–404. [Google Scholar] , 1970a Andrews, J. R. H. 1970b. Notes on infestations of Damalinia hemitragi (Cummings 1966) (Mallophaga) on tahr in New Zealand. J. Parasit., 56: 846–848. [Google Scholar] , b Brunsdon, R. V. 1960. Host-parasite checklist of nematodes of domestic ruminants in New Zealand. N.Z. vet. J., 8: 80–81. [Taylor & Francis Online] [Google Scholar] ). The first of these papers, a key to the wild ruminant parasites, will be complemented by the present work which consists of a checklist and notes on cross-infection between wild and domestic ruminants.
