Introduction:
This bibliographic listing of parasites and hosts reported from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas has been prepared to facilitate literature searches by parasitologists and others needing such information. In the Parasite-Host Bibliography, parasites have been categorized into major taxonomic groups, assigned a number (left column) and listed in alphabetical order for the three states. Those from Arizona have reference numbers (right column) followed by "A", those from New Mexico are followed by "N" with all undesignated being from Texas.
In the Host-Parasite Bibliography, hosts have been listed in alphabetical order by their scientific name followed by parasite numbers which can be used to accession the reference by referring to the Parasite-Host section. In some cases, however, the host common names were used in the original publication. These are listed alphabetically in a separate section of the Host-Parasite Bibliography.
We sincerely hope there are no errors or omissions. A total of 509 citations are included and 782 hosts and 1,528 parasites are recorded. In addition, two tables summarizing information on helminth parasite geographic distribution and frequency among the major vertebrate hosts are included. In a work of this scope, perfection is difficult, thus, we would appreciate being informed of errors and/or omissions.
When the full document is active in Acrobat Reader, you can search for a specific host using either the common name or the scientific name with the "binocular" function at the top of "Adobe Acrobat Reader's" function bar.  It is not fancy, but it works, and you can repeat-search by using the correlated function binocular also at the top of the Acrobat function bar.
We included this first page of HTML to give the web spiders something to index when they run into our page.  In this way the page will be indexed generally for what is on this html page, but not specifically for what is in the pdf file.  We will someday try to make this available as an HTML file so that the whole document can be indexed automatically.  You can go to the bibliography directly here or at the bottom of this document.
