Title: Helminth parasitisms among intermingling insular populations of white-tailed deer, feral cattle, and feral swine. Author: Prestwood AK, Kellogg FE, Pursglove SR, Hayes FA. Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1975 Apr 15; 166(8):787-9. PubMed ID: 123523. Abstract: Helminth infections among free-ranging, intermingling populations of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), cattle (Bos taurus), and swine (Sus scrofa) on an island off the Georgia coast were studied. Of 39 species of helminths collected, 19 were found in deer, 17 in cattle, and 13 in swine. Of 28 species of helminths recovered from ruminants, 8, viz, Capillaria bovis, Cooperia punctata, Dictyocaulus viviparus, Gongylonema pulchrum, G verrucosum, Haemonchus contortus, Moniezia benedeni, and Trichostrongylus axei, occurred in both deer and cattle. Common liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica) infected cattle and swine but not deer. Only 1 helminth, G pulchrum, infected deer, cattle, and swine. The findings suggested that helminths harbored by the host species are distinct, with little exchange occurring.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
