Summary

Helminths are reported from stone martens (Martes foina Erxleben 1777), road-killed between 1997 and 1999 in the province of Turin (North-Western Italy). Out of 10 adult martens, seven were infected by helminths. One cestode(Taenia martis) and three nematode (Molineus patens, Capillaria sp. andAngiostrongylus sp.) species were identified.
