Summary Helminthic parasites were investigated following the death of some stock animals and restocking. Helminth ova detected were Ancylostoma, Bunostomum, Trichuris, Strongyloides, Echinococcus and an unidentified cestode. The danger of continuous use of the same pens is highlighted and the possibility of the presence of a domestic life cycle of hydatidosis in the Zoo is raised.
