Abstract
The Notu is an endemic arboricole pigeon from New Caledonia. A two yea rs study of these birds permitted the observation of parasites. The pa rasites isolated from Notus are one Hippoboscidae, two Mallophaga lice species, and a subcutaneous filarial worm. Eggs from Nematoda and coc cidian oocysts have also been observed by coproscopic studies. The pat hogenicity of the parasites is discussed.
