Abstract

The distribution of Spiculopteragia pursglovei (= Apteragia pursglovei) and S. odocoilei (= A. odocoilei) in 12 southeastern states was determined after examining the abomasal contents of 1,369 white-tailed deer over an 8-yr period. Spiculopteragia odocoilei was encountered with much greater frequency than S. pursglovei except in some areas along the Mississippi River drainage and the coasts of North Carolina and South Carolina. In instances where both parasites were found in a population, one usually expressed a dominance in both prevalence and intensity. These findings are in agreement with those of an earlier study conducted in the southeastern United States.
