Infection of Dice Snake, Natrix tessellata (Reptilia, Colubridae), with Eustrongylides excisus (Nematoda, Dioctophymatidae) in the Middle and Lower Dnipro River Basin
Dice snakes can be a paratenic host for a stage IV of Eustrongylides excisus, Jagerskiold, 1909 larva due to specific diet of the snakes. The infection rate of E. excisus in Natrix tessellate (Laurenti, 1768) was studied in the basin of the middle and the lower Dnipro River in 2013–2017. We searched...
