Helminth parasites of the common (North American) crow (Corvus brachyrhynochos Brehm, 1822) in insular Newfoundland
Ninety-nine crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos Brehm, 1822) including 37 adult males, 18 adult females, 4 adults of unknown sex, and 40 immatures were examined from twelve localities in Newfoundland. Ninety-eight percent of the crows were infected. Eighteen species of parasites were recovered; seven being...
