Endoparasites of American marten (Martes americana): Review of the literature and parasite survey of reintroduced American marten in Michigan
The American marten (Martes americana) was reintroduced to both the Upper (UP) and northern Lower Peninsula (NLP) of Michigan during the 20th century. This is the first report of endoparasites of American marten from the NLP. Faeces from live-trapped American marten were examined for the presence of...
