Abstract

During an acanthocephalan epizootic at the Pittsburgh aviary, an intermediate host for Mediorhynchus orientalis was found for the first time and 2 new potential intermediate hosts for the genus Mediorhynchus were noted. The cockroaches Pycnoscelis surinamensis and Periplaneta americana were found infected with acanthellae and appear to be suitable intermediate hosts.
