“…Instead, we found it at a relatively low incidence on mourning doves, a new host record for Canada, although it has been reported from this host in the United States of America (Conti and Forrester 1981). Furthermore, no specimens of B. columbae, C. baculoides, or H. paladinella were reported in a survey of parasites of mourning doves in Illinois (Hanson et al 1957). The sample in this survey was larger than ours but apparently the birds were not examined as rigorously for ectoparasites.…”

“…The diversity of intestinal helminths (4 species) that we found in mourning doves collected in September in 4 states is lower than that reported in other studies, except for Hanson et al (1957), who found no intestinal helminths in mourning doves sampled in Illinois. Excluding helminths normally found in the proventriculus and the body cavity, Barrows and Hayes (1977) found 5 species of intestinal helminths in mourning doves collected in 12 southeastern states, and in 2 studies in Florida, Forrester et al (1983) found 10 species, and Conti and Forrester (1981) found 7 species of intestinal helminths.…”

“…Previous studies of mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) helminths in the United States have been limited to the southeastern states (e.g., Barrows and Hayes, 1977;Conti and Forrester, 1981;Forrester et al, 1983), except for a study in Illinois in which no intestinal parasites were found (Hanson et al, 1957). Geographic patterns in the distribution of helminths within specific hosts have been evaluated often (Bush, 1990), but we are unaware of reports addressing geographic patterns in the distribution of helminth communities of mourning doves outside the southeastern United States.…”

“…Doves lacking buffy-tipped coverts were similarly classified if the ninth and tenth primaries had smooth edges and buff-coloured fringes (Wight et al 1967). Hatching dates were determined by moulting rates as reported for doves in Illinois (Hanson and Kossack 1963); that study was geographically closest to and therefore likely to be comparable to that of our study area. Ifa dove was not actively moulting its date of hatching was estimated by comparing the last moulted primary with known-age birds.…”
