dc.description.abstract	Fifty five red foxes were captured in Murcia province (Southeast Spain) and necropsied to evaluate parasitic infections. Fifteen helminth species were found, including five cestodes (Mesocestoides lineatus, Mesocestoides litteratus, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Taenia pisiformis and Dipylidium caninum), nine nematodes (Pterygodermatites affinis, Toxocara canis, Trichuris vulpis, Toxascaris leonina, Oxynema crassispiculum, Eucoleus (Capillaria) aerophilus, Toxocara cati, Uncinaria stenocephala and Angiostrongylus, vasorum), and one acanthocephalan (Macracanthorhynchus catulinus). Coprological method revealed the presence of, Isospora spp. oocysts. Also, fleas and ticks were recovered from the carcasses, corresponding to Pulex irritans, Spilopsyllus cuniculi, Ctenocephalides felis felis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ventalloi, and Ixodes ricinus. Both S. cuniculi and C. felis felis are first records in foxes in the Iberian Peninsula	es
dc.description.abstract	Nous avons réalisé une étude parasitologique chez le renard roux (Vulpes vulpes) dans la province de Murcie (sud-est de l’Espagne). Au total, 55 renards ont été collectés et autopsiés. L’examen coprologique parasitaire a révélé la présence d’oocystes d’Isospora spp. Nous avons trouvé quinze espèces de helminthes, desquels cinq sont cestodes (Mesocestoides lineatus, Mesocestoides litteratus, Joyeuxiella pasqualei, Taenia pisiformis et Dipylidium caninum) et neuf nématodes (Pterygodermatites affinis, Toxocara canis, Trichuris vulpis, Toxascaris leonina, Oxynema crassispiculum, Eucoleus (Capillaria) aerophilus, Toxocara cati, Uncinaria stenocephala et Angiostrongylus vasorum), et une espèce d’acanthocephalan (Macracanthorhynchus catulinus). Par ailleurs, nous avons identifié des puces et des tiques appartenant aux espèces Pulex irritans, Spilopsyllus cuniculi, Ctenocephalides felis felis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Ixodes ventalloi et Ixodes ricinus. C’est la première fois que S. cuniculi et C. felis felis ont été décrits chez le renard dans la Péninsule Ibérique.
