    Author: Chakraborty A.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 1994 Mar; 52(1-2):163-7. PubMed ID: 8030183.
    Abstract:
    Gongylonema infection in 11 captive wild herbivores out of 214 animals (5.14%) was recorded at post mortem examination. Species of animals affected were spotted deer (6.06%), sambar (7.14%), mouse deer (16.66%), nilgai (11.76%), serow (16.66%) and giraffe (20.0%). The affected areas showed fibrinous inflammation. On scanning electron microscopic study, destruction and disruption of the epithelium were noted, and cuticular bosses originating from the anterior tip of the parasite were observed.
