The research on the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of antelopes and goats has been conducted in and around the Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The method of collecting dung by hand coupled to that of the laboratory coprology analysis were used. The results of the study show that the antelope and the goat have in common as roundworms trichostrongylus, Nematoduris and flatworms, Fasciola gigantica (Trematodes) and as other worms, Coccidia. Gastrointestinal parasites in both sites (PNKB and around the PNKB).Trichostrongylus, are abundant in antelopes and goats, but Coccidia are abundant around the PNKB so in goats. Goats have a high prevalence of parasites for the same species found in the two sites namely trichostrongylus, (51.2%), Nematoduris (8.7%) and Coccidia (47.5%) against trichostrongylus, (47, 5%), Nematoduris (1.2%) and Coccidia (21.2%) in antelopes whereas for Fasciola gigantica, antelopes have a high parasite prevalence (26.2%) than goats (20%). The other prevalences of parasites in antelopes are distributed as follows 5% respectively for Gardia lamblia and Molineus, 1.2% respectively for Balatidium parcel, Monezia expensa, Cappilaria sp and Ascarus lumbricoides and 2., 5% Trichuris trichura. The parasite infestation rate in the two small ruminants (antelope and goat) is at least 10 parasitic elements counted on the slide of Molineus, Trichuris trichura, Ascarus lumbricoides, Cappilaria sp, Monezia expensa and Nematoduris while for Coccidia and tricostrongylus, is 10 to 100 parasitic elements counted on the blade. The infestation rate of gastrointestinal parasites is 10.1% in antelopes and 31.9% in goats. Goats around the PNKB are quite infested with trichostrongylus, as the antelopes at PNKB. For Coccidian parasites, goats around PNKB are infested in the same way as PNKB antelopes.

Abstract
The research on the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of antelopes and goats has been conducted in and around the Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The method of collecting dung by hand coupled to that of the laboratory coprology analysis were used. The results of the study show that the antelope and the goat have in common as roundworms trichostrongylus, Nematoduris and flatworms, Fasciola gigantica (Trematodes) and as other worms, Coccidia. Gastrointestinal parasites in both sites (PNKB and around the PNKB).Trichostrongylus, are abundant in antelopes and goats, but Coccidia are abundant around the PNKB so in goats. Goats have a high prevalence of parasites for the same species found in the two sites namely trichostrongylus, (51.2%), Nematoduris (8.7%) and Coccidia (47.5%) against trichostrongylus, (47, 5%), Nematoduris (1.2%) and Coccidia (21.2%) in antelopes whereas for Fasciola gigantica, antelopes have a high parasite prevalence (26.2%) than goats (20%). The other prevalences of parasites in antelopes are distributed as follows 5% respectively for Gardia lamblia and Molineus, 1.2% respectively for Balatidium parcel, Monezia expensa, Cappilaria sp and Ascarus lumbricoides and 2., 5% Trichuris trichura. The parasite infestation rate in the two small ruminants (antelope and goat) is at least 10 parasitic elements counted on the slide of Molineus, Trichuris trichura, Ascarus lumbricoides, Cappilaria sp, Monezia expensa and Nematoduris while for Coccidia and tricostrongylus, is 10 to 100 parasitic elements counted on the blade. The infestation rate of gastrointestinal parasites is 10.1% in antelopes and 31.9% in goats. Goats around the PNKB are quite infested with trichostrongylus, as the antelopes at PNKB. For Coccidian parasites, goats around PNKB are infested in the same way as PNKB antelopes.

Abstract: (french)
Ce travail a été effectué au PNKB et à ses alentours en vue d’évaluer le parasitisme qui affecte le petit ruminant sauvage et celui domestique des peuples riverains. Le ramassage des crottes à la main, couplé à l’analyse coprologique au laboratoire ont été effectuées. Les résultats montrent que l’antilope et la chèvre ont en commun les vers ronds du genre Trichostrongylus, Nematoduris et les vers plats du genre Fasciola gigantica et comme autre parasites, les Coccidies. Les parasites gastro-intestinaux dans les deux sites (PNKB et aux alentours du PNKB), les Trichostrongylus sont abondants chez les antilopes et les chèvres mais, les Coccidies sont abondants aux alentours du PNKB donc chez les chèvres. Les chèvres ont une prévalence des parasites élevée pour les mêmes espèces rencontrées dans les deux sites à savoir Trichostrongylus (51,2%), Nematoduris (8,7 %) et les Coccidies (47,5 %) contre Trichostrongylus, (47,5%), Nematoduris (1,2%) et les Coccidies (21,2%) chez les antilopes tandis qu’en ce qui concerne Fasciola gigantica, les antilopes ont une prévalence des parasites élevée (26,2%) que les chèvres (20 %). Les autres prévalences des parasites chez les antilopes sont reparties de la manière suivante5 % respectivement pour Gardia lamblia et le Molineus, 1,2 % respectivement pour Balantidium colis, Monezia expensa, Capilaria sp et Ascaris lombricoïdes ainsi que 2,5 % Trichuris trichura. Le taux d’infestation des parasites évalué au 10e pour Molineus, Trichuris trichura, Ascaris lumbricoides, Capilaria sp, Monezia expensa et Nematoduriset au 100eEimeriaet trichostrongylus, est de 10,1 % chez les antilopes et de 31,9 % chez les caprins. Les chèvres aux alentours du PNKB sont assez infestées par le trichostrongylus, que les antilopes au PNKB. Pour les Coccidies, les chèvres aux alentours du PNKB sont infestées de la même manière que les antilopes au PNKB.
