The purpose of this study was to present the structure of nematofauna community with particular emphasis on stomach (proventriculus and gizzard) nematodes in wild ducks wintering in large numbers in the North-Western Poland. Hosts (n=152) were represented by 17 species from eight genera belonging to three different ecological tribes: Anatini, Aythyini, and Mergini. Parasitic nematodes (n=14,396) were found in the digestive tract of 813 out of 1,052 birds (77.3%), with the vast majority of nematodes (93.9%) found in the gizzard (n=7,326) and proventriculus (n=6,198). Nematodes isolated from these organs represented 21 species from six families: Amidostomatidae, Acuariidae, Tetrameridae, Dioctophymatidae, Ascarididae, and Anisakidae. The most prevalent were nematodes from the genus Amidostomoides (n=6,686 individuals; 49.4%), and the most dominant species was A. monodon (5,013 nematodes).
