Abstract
Four free-living European bison of the Bialowieza/Caucasus line which were shot in February 1997 within Lutowisko Forestry District in the B ieszczady range of the Eastern Carpathians, Poland, were all infected by Ashworthius sidemi at a mean intensity of infection of 1542 worms. On the basis of study of nematodes in Cervus elaphus from France, typi cal examples of A. gagarini, and 629 specimens of Ashworthius collecte d from the Bieszczady bison, A. gagarini was recognized as a junior sy nonym of A. sidemi.
