Genetic identification of gastrointestinal parasites in the world's most endangered ungulate, the hirola ( <i>Beatragus hunteri</i> )
A high percentage of the animals were infected by parasites whose presence may be associated with co-occurrence between hirolas and other ungulate species. Monitoring the parasite burden in local livestock may therefore be crucial for hirola conservation.
