چکیده
Nine species of gastrointestinal helminths were found in southern black-backed gulls (Larus dominicanus Lichstenstein, 1823) from Otago Peninsula. Eight of these, Parorchis acanthus, Echinostoma revolutum and Echinoparyphium recurvatum (Trematoda), Dildotaenia latovarium and Hymenolepis alaskensis (Cestoda), Sciadiocara tarapunga (Nematoda), and Profilicollis antarcticus and P. novaezelandensis (Acanthocephala), are new records in this host species in New Zealand. A second nematode species present, Cosmocephalus tanakai, has been reported from L. dominicanus previously.
