Setaria tundra, an emerging filarioid nematode in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in northeast Italy.
Coincidental with decades of warming (high temperature and humidity) in the sub-Arctic region of Europe, the mosquito-borne filarioid nematode Setaria tundra is now associated with emerging epidemic disease, resulting in morbidity and mortality for reindeer and moose. Similarly, roe deer is also tar...
