Gastro-intestinal nematodes of fallow deer (Dama dama L.) in Germany.
Worm counts were done in 49 gastro-intestinal tracts of fallow deer from two German enclosures. The mean worm burden was 592 worms. It was significantly higher in calves than in older animals. Sixteen different nematode species were identified. Spiculopteragia asymmetrica, Ostertagia leptospicularis, O. ostertagi, Rinadia mathevossiani, Oesophagostomum radiatum and O. venulosum were the most frequently occurring species.
