Experimental infections of muskoxen (<i>Ovibos moschatus</i>) and domestic sheep with <i>Umingmakstrongylus pallikuukensis</i> (Nematoda: Protostrongylidae): parasite development, population structure, and pathology

Abstract: Three captive muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were successfully infected with third-stage larvae of Umingmakstrongylus pallikuukensis digested or emerged from the slugs Deroceras reticulatum and D. laeve, for the first time completing the life cycle of this parasite under experimental conditions. The course of parasite development and patency was followed for 26 months post infection (p.i.) using fecal examinations and radiography. The prepatent periods in two of the muskoxen were 91 and 95 days and the patent per… Show more
