Trypanosoma cervi Kingston and Morton, 1975 from mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus, in Wyoming.

Abstract

Mensural values of blood stream stages and cross-transmission studies defined the trypanosome species from mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus, as con-specific with Trypanosoma cervi, the trypanosome found in elk from the same locality. Trypanosomes were found in eight mule deer sampled in the spring and eight sampled in the winter in southeastern Wyoming.
