A total of 84 pygmy cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmaeus) and 18 great cormorant (carbo) birds were hunted from the eastern Hammar marsh in Basrah province. These birds were examined, and it was found that they were infected with three types of nematodes: Contracaecum Phalacrocorax sp., C.microcephalum, C.rudolphii. The C.rudolphii species was compared with previous studies, while the other two species were considered new records.
