Whale lice are the most common external parasites of the narwhal [Monodon monoceros]. They particularly favor the base of the male narwhal's tusk. Worms are the most common internal parasites. They particularly favor the stomach, and the middle ear.

The main parasite that affects Narwhals is the lungworm parasite Otostrongylus circumlitus. It infects the respiratory tract of narwhals, leading to respiratory issues and potentially impacting their health and survival. Additionally, there are cases of other parasites such as tapeworms that can affect narwhals as well.
