The helminth parasites of three species of gulls in Newfoundland
Thirty-two great black-backed gulls (Larus marinus), 72 kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla), and 1 glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus) were examined for their helminth parasite burden during 1966 and 1967, in Newfoundland, Canada. A total of 16 species of helminths were recovered (four species of trematodes...
