Helminths of white stork Ciconia ciconia in north-eastern Poland
2026
Overview
The aim of the study was to determine the structure of helminth communities of White Stork in north-eastern Poland in the years 2015–2018. The study material comprised 61 White Storks
Ciconia ciconia
from within the borders of Biebrza National Park. Seven parasite taxa were detected in the storks. The cestode
Dictymetra riccii
, the nematode
Dispharynx
cf.
nasuta
, and acanthocephalans are new parasites for storks in Poland. Prevalence of helminths was 32.8%, with a mean intensity of 12.2, in a range from 1 to 60 and with mean abundance of 3.8. The biodiversity of the component community expressed by Simpson’s diversity index was 0.639, and dominance expressed by the Berger–Parker index was 0.485. The dominant species in the component community was the cestode
Dictymetra discoidea
. The average biodiversity of infracommunities, expressed by Brillouin’s diversity index, was 0.07 ± 0.13. The greatest species richness of helminths in storks was recorded in July (five species). The greatest intensity of infection was noted in the case of infection with
Tylodelphys excavata
in June. The prevalence of the cestode
Dictymetra discoidea
in adult storks (35.5%) was significantly higher than in juvenile storks (4.17%) (chi
