Abstract

There are few reports of helminths from the American Bald Eagle, Heliaeetus leucocephalus, perhaps because of the general decline in numbers and intensified protection of this avian species in recent years. Schiller (1952, J. Mammal. 33: 38-49) reported an undetermined species of Corynosoma from bald eagles in Alaska. Smith (1978, J. Wildl. Dis. 14: 163-164) found numerous specimens of Cryptocotyle lingua in a bald eagle from Nova Scotia. Kocan and Locke (1974, J. Wildl. Dis. 10: 8-10) reported helminths from 59 eagles found dead or moribund in the United States and Canada between 1963 and 1971.
