Sound knowledge on parasite fauna of pangolins is crucial for evaluation of their health status. In the present review, a checklist of 34 genera of parasites and bacteria, including 4 genera of protozoan, 13 genera of helminthes, 8 genera of ticks, 2 genera of mites and 7 genera of bacteria reported from pangolins was compiled and their zoonotic potential were discussed. The aim of this checklist is to underline the information gap and to provide a reference list of parasites and bacteria known for pangolins to assist in their further investigation.
An account is given of the pathology of open-billed storks, Anastomus oscitans, suggested that the parasitic trematodes host. of nodular lesions in the small intestine caused by Chaunocephalus ferox. It is lead an entirely histiozoic life in this
