Discovery of a new host-parasite relationship, Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei in Dall's sheep (Ovis dalli dalli ) in the Canadian North, prompted the first investigation of the geographic distribution, pathogenesis, ecology and epidemiology of this parasite, as well as the related protostrongylid Protostrongylus stilesi , at Subarctic latitudes (60--65°N). All protostrongylid parasites have an indirect life-cycle, where first-stage larvae are shed in the feces of a mammalian definitive host, penetrate the foot of a gastropod intermediate host, and develop to infective third-stage larvae. Protostrongylid larvae were recovered from over 2000 fecal samples from thinhorn sheep (Ovis dalli ) and other hosts for P. odocoilei...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
