HELMINTH FAUNA OF A JAPANESE GOLDEN EAGLE, AQUILA CHRYSAETOS JAPONICA
A Japanese golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos japonica, was found dead in Nagano Prefecture PB 399-8200, Japan, and subjected to necropsy. The necropsy revealed that the entire length of the intestine was filled with several masses of intestinal parasites. The recovered helminths were identified as one...
