A Survey of Nematode Parasites of Small Mammals in Tunisia, North Africa: Diversity of Species and Zoonotic Implications
International audience The presence of nematodes was investigated in 84 small mammals belonging to 10 species living in arid wildhabitats from Central Tunisia. Hosts were infected with a total of 7 species of nematodes. The dominant parasite species wasGongylonema neoplasticum, which was found in th...
