Molecular identification of Trypanosoma theileri complex in Eurasian moose Alces alces (L.)
Although the significance of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) as hosts and their role in the circulation of vector-borne pathogens in Europe is well described, the trypanosomes of moose (Alces alces) are poorly known. As heat sensitive ungulates, moose might be especially...
