AbstractA study of 187 bobwhite, taken from the Salamonie Reservoir and surrounding farmlands in Northern Indiana during November through May, revealed the presence of three species of nematodes:Dispharynx spiralis, Heterakis gallinae, and Subulura,sp. The bobwhite collected showed 37 per cent infestation. The highest rate of incidence was with the Dispharynx spiralis, while Heterakis gallinae was the second most abundant species with 7 per cent infestation. The Subulura species is not identical to any Subulura species reported from bobwhite. Therefore, it is believed that this is the first report of this species from bobwhite.Results regarding food, age, and location revealed little correlation to parasitism in this study.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
