Abstract
Of 220 muskrat fecal specimens collected from 12 sites in southwestern New Jersey, 154 (70%) were found to contain cysts of the protozoan parasite Giardia spp. Cysts from selected muskrat fecal specimens infected Mongolian gerbils, but attempts to cultivate trophozoites removed from these gerbils were unsuccessful. Salmonella spp. were not detected in any of the muskrat fecal specimens.Entities:
