THE HELMINTH PARASITES OF SLEDGE-DOGS IN NORTHERN CANADA AND NEWFOUNDLAND

In a survey, based on examination of faeces and viscera of sledge dogs, the following were identified: hookworms, ascarids, whipworms, kidney worms, fish-carried and other tapeworms, the Canadian liver-fluke and other trematodes and an acanthocephalid. The distribution of the infections is noted. The acanthocephalid, Corynosoma semerme, is recorded for the first time from North America.
