A helminthological survey on the Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) captures in Fukushima-shi, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, between April, 2012 and April, 2013, was performed, and comparison with the data from the macaque individuals captured in almost same period in the Shimokita Peninsula, Aomori Prefecture was done. Among 100 macaque individuals, 5 helminth species, namely, Ogmocotyle ailuri, Bertiella studeri, Trichuris sp., Oesophagostomun aculeatum and Strongyloides fuelleborni, were obtained. Especially, T. sp. is almost common species in the macaque individuals examined as well as the peninsula. It could be regarded as agents of zoonotic helminthiasis, the occurrence should be cautious. B. studeri and O. aculeatum were obtained from the present macaques, although the both species were not obtained in the peninsula. Adding to the geographical comparison, statistical analysis of relationships between the occurrence/incidence of the parasitic helminths and host age/sex or season among the present individuals were performed.
