| Parasites of the Canada lynx, Felis (Lynx) canadensis | |
| 1966 Canadian Journal of Zoology (44): 499-507 | |
Monopsyllus vison was collected from 1 of 19 lynxes examined for ectoparasites. Taenia laticollis and T. rileyi were the most frequent cestodes in 113 lynxes examined for endoparasites. Scoleces of T. pisiformis were often present in large numbers, but no segmented specimens were encountered. Scoleces of Multiceps sp. were found twice. One trematode, Alaria (Paralaria) sp., was collected. The nematodes Toxascaris leonina, Cylicospirura subaequalis, and Troglostrongylus wilsoni were common, and Toxocara cati and Physaloptera praeputialis occurred less frequently. |
