| Abstract: | The Notu is an endemic arboricole pigeon from New Caledonia. A two years study of these birds permitted the observation of parasites. The parasites isolated from Notus are one Hippoboscidae, two Mallophaga lice species, and a subcutaneous filarial worm. Eggs from Nematoda and coccidian oocysts have also been observed by coproscopic studies. The pathogenicity of the parasites is discussed. |
