Studies on the Prevalence of Arterial Worms and Meningeal Worms in Wild Ruminants in the Jackson Hole Area of Wyoming
Published 1974-01-01
Abstract
Additional studies completed on this project through November 30, 1974, include examination of 15 elk (Cervus canadensis) and 3 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) taken by hunters in Teton and Fremont Counties, Wyoming. No evidence was found of the arterial nematode Elaeophora schneideri in either species at necropsy. It is anticipated that additional material will be available for post-mortem examination after the current elk season in Grand Teton National Park concludes on December 1, 1974. Project Number 198.
