Extract

Small numbers of the nematode species: Spiculopteragia asymmetrica, Apteragia quadrispiculata, Nematodirus filicollis, Capillaria bovis, Cooperia pectinata and Oesophagostomum venulosum, were recovered from the gastro-intestinal tracts of wild Fallow deer killed in Essex. In addition, the larval cyst of the cestode Taenia hydatigena was found in the liver of one animal.
