Paleoparasitological study of rodent coprolites from "Los Altares" paleontological site, Patagonia, Argentina

Results of paleoparasitological examination of rodent coprolites from faeces were collected from excavations at the paleontological site "Los Altares Profile", Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina, are presented. Each coprolite was processed, rehydrated, homogenized, processed by spontane...

Samples were positive for eggs of Heteroxynema ( Cavioxyura) viscaciae and an unidentified oxyurid (tentatively attributed to Helminthoxys) (Nematoda: Oxyuridae); and for 3 morphotypes of anoplocephalids (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae).
