Description

Table 1. List of helminths reported from Anatidae species in Australia. Abbreviations include AHC: Australian Helminthological Collection, at present housed in the South Australian Museum, Adelaide, South Australia; CSIRO: Division of Wildlife and Rangelands Research (name of the institution as referred to by Mawson et al. 1986), Canberra, Australian Capital Territory; UMSVS: University of Melbourne, Victoria, School of Veterinary Science; CIH: Commonwealth Institute of Health, University of Sydney, New South Wales; BM: British Museum (Natural History), London, England; AM: Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW; Bass Str.; Bass Strait. ‘Unidentified’ refers to records where the parasite was only classified as Cestoda, Trematoda, Nematoda, or Acanthocephala.

a According to Johnston (1912c), the name is no longer valid as the type specimens were lost and the original description is too poor to allow a specific identification.

b This is a tribe, not a taxon.

The ‘?’ next to some taxon names was included as it appeared in the original records. This notation likely indicates that the authors/curators believed the identification of these species was dubious.

c There were two unidentified species.

d Native Australian Anatidae species. Note that Anseranas semipalmata is under the family Anseranatidae. Both Anseranatidae and Anatidae are familes under Anseriformes. Since they are the only birds of this family in Australia, they have been included in this study.
