Abstract
Parasites were collected from 13 Cape mountain zebras (Equus zebra zeb ra) in the Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa, during four sea sons of 1983 and 1984. Eighteen nematode species belonging to the fami lies Atractidae, Habronematidae, and Strongylidae, and one species of cestode were recovered. The most abundant nematodes were Cyathostomum tetracanthum, Cylicostephanus longiconus and Probstmayria vivipara. On ly one of the 10 cyathostome nematodes recovered, C. longiconus was pr esent in every zebra.
