PART IV (CARNIVORA).
Notwithstanding the importance of the entozoa of this large section of
mammals, I must deal with them very summarily, emphasising my remarks
on the parasites of the dog and cat. Only a few of the ectozoa can be
noticed.
The bears are much infested by nematodes, the species being _Ascaris
transfuga_ and _Spiroptera_ (_Gongylonema_) _contorta_ of Molin. The
latter is found in the œsophagus. Immature round worms have also been
found in cysts. These were erroneously described as cestodes by Zeder
and Gmelin. The bear, however, is very liable to be infested by genuine
Cysticerci. Retzius found them in the muscles, and they are described
as examples of the ordinary hog-measle. The museum attached to Guy’s
Hospital contains the heart of a bear which is largely infested by
Cysticerci. A species of tapeworm has been found in the polar bear. The
coati (_Nasua narica_) is infested by _Ascaris brachyoptera_ in the
intestine, by Molin’s _Physaloptera semilanceolata_ from the stomach,
by _Echinorhynchus spirula_, _Tænia crassipora_, and _Ligula reptans_,
the latter occupying the muscles. A second species of Ascaris (_A.
alienata_) is described from _Nasua rufa_.
