Abstrakt: The article discusses a study on the Stichorchis subtriquetrus in a free-living beaver in Scotland. The study investigates the cause of death of a female beaver who was trapped in the Tayside region. It discovers three adult trematode parasites in the caecum of the beaver, with no associated pathological changes. It also suggests that the presence of the trematode constitutes the first documentation of this parasite species in free-living beavers born in the nation.
