Helminths recovered from 55 C. taurinus culled at monthly intervals from November 1977 to November 1978 in the Kruger National Park, South Africa, included: 13 nematode, 4 cestode and one trematode species. The most prevalent nematode was Haemonchus bedfordi and the most abundant was Cooperia connochaeti. Moniezia benedeni was the most abundant cestode and Avitellina sp. the most prevalent. Strongyloides sp. infections were mainly confined to animals one to 5 months of age.
