Intestinal coccidia of white-tailed deer in southern Florida.
From 1984 to 1986 110 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from Big Cypress National Preserve in southern Florida were examined for intestinal coccidial infections. Three species of Eimeria (E. mccordocki, E. madisonensis, and E. odocoilei) were found in low prevalences. There were no differences in prevalence due to age, sex, season of collection or specific locality within the Preserve.
