Özet

Contracaecum genus (Ascaridida: Anisakidae) is a nematode parasite of the fish-eating birds throughout the world. A heavy infection of Contracaecum sp. was detected at the necropsy of a Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) that had been referred to an animal hospital due to trauma and died before the initiation of any treatment. Intense parasitic infection was seen in the proventriculus and within the lumen of oesophagus to duodenum. This is the first case of intense adult Contracaecum sp. infection in a piscivorous bird in Turkey.
