ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal parasites of 106 red kangaroos, Osphranter rufus (Desmarest), are reported from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Previous studies have been restricted to New South Wales and Queensland. The current study increases the geographical range of studies of the parasites of O. rufus and presents evidence for regional differences in the parasite fauna. Two species of cestodes and 27 species of nematodes were encountered, with four species Cloacina hestia Beveridge, 1998, C. ixion Beveridge, 1998, Papillostrongylus barbatus Chilton, Huby-Chilton, Gasser and Beveridge, 2002 and Popovastrongylus pearsoni (Johnston & Mawson, 1940) being reported for the first time. Several species, Hypodontus macropi Mönnig, 1929, Progamotaenia festiva (Rudolphi, 1819), Labiosimplex longispicularis (Wood, 1929) , Pa. barbatus, Cloacina hydriformis Johnston & Mawson, 1938 and C. liebigi Johnston & Mawson, 1939 were widespread while others exhibited more regional distributions. Helminth communities in Queensland and New South Wales exhibited considerable similarity (89%) followed by South Australia (74%) and the south of Western Australia (71%) while the community in the north of Western Australia was the most distinctive (56% similarity).

红袋鼠 Osphranter rufus (Desmarest) (Marsupialia: Macropodidae) 的胃肠道蠕虫寄生虫及其区域分布

摘要 昆士兰、新南威尔士、维多利亚、南澳大利亚、西澳大利亚和北领地报告了 106 只红袋鼠 Osphranter rufus (Desmarest) 的胃肠道寄生虫。以前的研究仅限于新南威尔士州和昆士兰州。目前的研究扩大了 O. rufus 寄生虫研究的地理范围，并提供了寄生虫动物区系差异的证据。遇到了两种绦虫和 27 种线虫，其中 Cloacina hestia Beveridge 4 种，1998、C. ixion Beveridge，1998、Papillostrongylus barbatus Chilton、Huby-Chilton、Gasser 和 Beveridge，2002 和 Popovastrongylus pears & Masoni (John ) 首次报道。几个物种, Hypodontus macropi Mönnig, 1929, Progamotaenia festiva (Rudolphi, 1819)，Labiosimplex longispicularis (Wood, 1929) , Pa. barbatus, Cloacina hydriformis Johnston & Mawson, 1938 和 C. liebigi Johnston & Mawson, 1939 很普遍，而其他人则表现出更多的区域分布。昆士兰和新南威尔士的蠕虫群落表现出相当大的相似性（89%），其次是南澳大利亚（74%）和西澳大利亚南部（71%），而西澳大利亚北部的群落最为独特（56%） ）。
