| Abstract | We present the results of helminthological examinations of 25 otter carcasses (14 males and 11 females) and 117 specimens of otter faeces (spraints), collected from both natural and transformed ecosystems of Belorussian Polesie between 1981 and May of 1999. Carcasses were collected from hunters, whilst the spraints were collected along riverbanks and adjoining channels. The rate of infection of otters by helminthes, determined by dissection, was found to be 76.0%. |
