摘要: Cestodes of 4 species and nematodes 9 were collected from 75 bobcats, Lynx rufus (Schreber), in Nebraska 1977 to 1979. Of these 75, 11 trapped 6 border counties 3 states: South Dakota, 7 carcasses/3 counties; Kansas, 3/2; Wyoming, 1/1. Helminths recovered included: Mesocestoidescorti Hoeppli, 1925 (15% prevalence), Taenia rileyi Loewen, 1929 (67%), pisiformis (Bloch, 1780) Gmelin, 1790 (27%), macrocystis (Diesing, 1850) Luihe, 1910 (19%), Physaloptera praeputialis von Linstow, 1889 (55%), rara Hall Wigdor, 1918 (32%), Toxascaris leonina (von 1902) Leiper, 1907 (31%), Toxocara cati (Schrank, (39%), Ancylostoma tubaeforme (Zeder, 1800) 1885 (5%), Pterygodermatites (Multipectines) cahirensis (Jagerski6old, 1909) Quentin, 1969 (1%), Vo- geloidesfelis (Vogel, 1928) Davtian, 1933 (7%), Cylicospirurafelineus (Chandler, 1925) Sandground, 1932(12%), Capillaria aerophila (Creplin, 1839) (4%). One bobcat was not infected; 74 had 1 (xc= 3). Simpson's index for helminth moderately low (0.12), indicating a relatively diverse fauna. Mean levels infection between prominent pairs within each compared with sex age differences using Student's t-test. intensity significantly (P < 0.01) greater than that cati; mean Mesocestoides corti all other species.
