- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the challenges encountered by wild grey partridges' breeders regarding parasitic infection with intestinal nematodes. The researchers gathered guts from 148 grey partridges and examined their health conditions. Findings reveal that the most common nematode parasites inside the birds' intestines were those under the genus Heterakis species. The study showed the prevalence of Capillaria species, while no evidence of Trichostrongylus tenuis was found.
