Abstract
Autopsy of two Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus (WHV) infected Woodchucks, Ma rmota monax, revealed the presence of two parasites in an hepatic loca lization, Taenia mustelae (Larvae) and Calodium hepaticum. The authors present the identification of the two parasites, based on the observa tion of cysticerci of Taenia mustelae, or on the observation of the eg gs of C.hepaticum. They discuss the probable interaction between hepat ic parasites and WHV infection.
