Abstract

This paper describes the results of a survey of the gastro-intestinal helminth parasites in the faecal matters of fourteen wildlife species and four domestic animal species collected from five sites in Radom National Park (R.N.P), South Darfur State, Sudan, namely: Radom area, Alhufra, Titrbi, Kafindibei and Kafiakingi. Out of the 1179 faecal matters examined, 115 (9.8%) were found harboring eggs of helminth parasites. The leopard (Panthera pardus) had the highest overall infection rate of helminth eggs (50%) (6/12), while Patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas) showed the lowest prevalence (2.7%) (1/37). The prevalence recorded in the two types revealed that domestic animals had a prevalence of 9.8% (59/600) while wild animals had 9.7% prevalence rate (56/579). Radom area showed the highest prevalence (13.9%) (49/352), followed by Kafiakingi (9.3%) (27/289), whereas Alhufra area showed the lowest prevalence (5.4%) (7/129). The results of this survey were compared and discussed with previous findings of similar studies in Sudan and elsewhere.
