Influence of rainfall on lungworm infections in bighorn sheep.

Author:	DJ Forrester; RC Littell
Edition/Format:	Article : English
Publication:	Journal of wildlife diseases, 1976 Jan; 12(1): 48-51
Database:	From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Summary:	From 1959 through 1968, lungs from 124 Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis c. canadensis) from the Sun River herd in western Montana were examined for lungworm infections. All lungs were infected with Protostrongylus stilesi and 104 (84%) contained concurrent infections of P. stilesi and P. rushi. Significant correlations were observed between levels of lungworm infection and total rainfall during April, May, and June of each year. An explanation of this in terms of terrestrial snail (intermediate host) populations and a suggestion for the possible use of these data in developing a predictive model for forecasting lungworm levels for use in in bighorn sheep management are given.  Read more...
