Three [[Trichostrongyloidea|trichostrongylus]] species may be found in the stomach or small intestine, and [[Oxyuroidea|pinworms (oxyurids)]] may occur in large numbers in the large intestine of young rabbits. These are usually of little clinical significance.

There are several nematodes that can be found in the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits. The most important are:
 
  
−
:''Passalurus ambiguus
 
−
:''Graphidium strigosum
 
−
:''Trichostrongylus retortaeformis
 
−
:''Strongyloides papillosus
 
−
:''Trichuris leporis
 
−
:''Capillaria hepática
 
−
:''Protostrongylus spp
 
  
−
The importance of those parasites differs with the type of production of the animal. In intensive production, parasites have low importance, due to the controlled environment and food, and controlled contact with other animals. On the other hand, in wild rabbits, this may be an issue as they may infect domestic animals.
