OCCURENCE OF PROTOSTRONGYLID NEMATODES IN SYMPATRIC POPULATIONS OF MOOSE AND WHITE-TAILED DEER IN MAINE
Occurrence of protostrongylid larvae in sympatric populations of moose (Alces alces) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was studied in Baxter State Park, Piscataouis County, Maine, form January - March 1984. A significantly (P < 0.001) larger proportion of deer fecal groups (50% of 10...
