Abstract: “Contributions to the parasite fauna of Hungarian game Ruminants. II. Dynamics of parasite infection of roe deer (Capreolusi c. capreolus)”. – The prevalence and intensity of some parasites of three roe deer populations were investigated in deer 2-24 months old in relation to the afforestation rate of the habitat and deer population density. The overall prevalence of abomasal trichostrongylid nematodes was 95.5% and that of intestinal nematodes 65.4%. The most common species were: Ostertagia leptospicularis (81.9%), Spiculopteragia böhmi (77.3%), and Skrjabinagia kolchicida (74.2%). The main intensity was low: lowest in deer 2 months old, the highest in 14-16 months old. It is concluded that the parasite burden is mainly affected by the afforestation of the habitat but less so by the density of the roe deer population.
