The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the captive animals in the Palic Zoo, Serbia. Between September 2004 and March 2005, we collected 75 feces samples and examined by standard coprologically techniques. Eggs of intestinal helminths were identified in 16 (17.2%), and oocysts of coccidia in 2 (2.3%) of all samples. We registered two parasites in 4 animals (26.6%): Toxocara spp. and Chabertia spp. in zebra, Parascaris equorum and Strongylus sp. in horses, Ascaridia spp. and Capillaria spp. in parrots and Capillaria sp. and Eimeria spp. in pigeons. Monoinfection were registered in 12 animals. Trichuris spp. in monkey and parrot, Toxascaris leonina in lions and pumas, Baylisascaris transfuga in polar and brown bears, Bunostomum spp. in cattle, Trichostrongylus spp. in giraffe and eland antilope, Amidostomum anseris in emu, Eimeria spp. in pavos and goats. Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites were significantly different between spring and autumn season.
