  • Title: Lesions caused by Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei (Nematoda: Metastronglyloidea) in two cervid hosts.
    Author: Pybus MJ, Samuel WM.
    Journal: Vet Pathol; 1984 Jul; 21(4):425-31. PubMed ID: 6235669.
    Abstract:
    Pathologic effects and host response were evaluated in seven white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and six mule deer (O. hemionus hemionus) each exposed per os to 300 or 1000 third-stage larvae of Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei. Pathologic effects in mule deer consisted of hemorrhagic myositis throughout skeletal muscles, severe verminous pneumonia, and moderate lymphadenitis. The major host response was a granulomatous inflammation associated with nematode eggs and larvae. Granulomas obliterated the normal architecture of affected tissues. Pathologic effects and host response were minimal in white-tailed deer. P. odocoilei is considered a potential direct or indirect pathogen in mule deer but an insignificant parasite in white-tailed deer.
