摘要：

Adult specimens of Nematodirus helvetianus, a parasitic nematode in the stomach of domestic ruminants, were found in the diaphragm of 13 of 38 coyotes (Canis latrans) collected in winter yards used by White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), in the Lower St. Lawrence and Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, Canada. The ingestion of domestic sheep harbouring third- or fourth-stage larvae is likely how coyotes acquired infections rather than by accidental ingestion of free-living infective larvae on vegetation which is how this parasite is normally acquired by sheep. However, experimental work to verify this hypothesis is required.
