Parasites of wolves, Canis lupus L., in northeastern Minnesota, as indicated by analysis of fecal samples
Two hundred and four scat fragments of wolves (Canis lupus) were collected from December 1969 through August 1971 in northeastern Minnesota; 74 of these contained parasite ova or larvae. Helminths representing the following genera were identified: (Trematoda) Alaria; (Cestoda) Moniezia and Taeniidae...
