A faecal analysis of helminth infections in wild and captive wolves, Canis lupus L., in Poland
Abstract One hundred and three samples of faeces of reared grey wolves from four locations (Stobnica Park and Zoological Gardens in Bydgoszcz, Wrocław and Cracow) and twenty-six samples of faeces from two free-roaming packs of grey wolf ( Canis lupus L.) in Piła (Forest Divisions: Borne Sulinowo, Cz...
