Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in New Brunswick: the parasite in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and moose (Alces alces)

SM Upshall, MD Burt, and TG Dilworth


ABSTRACT

Research was initiated in 1983 to investigate the ecology of Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in New Brunswick. The objectives were to determine the prevalence and intensity of infection in white-tailed deer, and to determine whether or not moose feces contained first stage larvae, signifying the completion of the life cycle of P. tenuis in this host. Forty-nine percent of deer pellet samples were positive and 60% of deer heads contained adults of P. tenuis. None of the moose pellet samples contained first stage larvae.
