Abstract:

This study examined eighty-five sea birds for the presence of parasitic worms (helminths) between May 1977 and September 1979. The birds were collected off Oregon Inlet, North Carolina, and represented the orders Procellariiformes, Pelecaniformes, and Charadriiformes. Feeding habits of the host birds were directly reflected by their helminth fauna.
