  • Title: Helminth and arthropod parasites of experimentally introduced whooping cranes in Florida.
    Author: Spalding MG, Kinsella JM, Nesbitt SA, Folk MJ, Foster GW.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1996 Jan; 32(1):44-50. PubMed ID: 8627935.
    Abstract:
    Nine species of nematodes, unidentified larval nematodes, three species of trematodes, two species of acanthocephalans and a single species of chewing louse were collected from 1993 to 1995 from 25 introduced whooping cranes (Grus americana) in Florida (USA). In spite of a quarantine procedure involving anthelmintic therapy, three helminth parasites may have been introduced from captive populations. Other parasites acquired were similar to those found in a local congener, the Florida sandhill crane (Grus canadensis pratensis), or only occurred infrequently.
