文摘

Spread of blood-sucking nematode Ashworthius sidemi in European bison was studied. The prevalence of infection in bison reached 100% just four years after introduction. Time since introduction, herd size, age and sex of bison influence infection intensity. Intensive supplementary feeding of bison led to larger herds and higher infection intensity. Management and biological factors determine the rate of parasitic infections in wildlife.
