Two Iriomote cats (Felis iriomotensis) and 2 T sushima leopard cats (F elis bengalensis euptilura) killed probably by traffic accidents were submitted to the helminthological examination.

In Tsushima leopard cats, 10 species of parasites (Pharyngostomu m cordatum, Spirometra erinacei, Toxocara cati, Molineus springsmithi, Arthrostoma hunanensis, Uncinaria felidis, Capillaria felis-cati, lar vae of an unidentifiable lung worm, and two species of Acanthocephala) were detected.
