ABSTRACT
Forty seven Vulpes ruppeli from two rural areas neighboring the poultry farms in Sohag, Egypt, were examined for helminth and arthropod parasites. A total of 10 species of helminths [4 trematodes, 3 cestodes and 3 nematodes] and 6 species of arthropod ectoparasites [one louse, 3 fleas and one tick] were found. Redescription of the trematode parasite, Platynosomum fastosum Kossack 1910, which was recovered for the first time in Sohag, was the most important point. Data were discussed
