After gastropod ingestion, moose or other deer may be hosts of the second- and third-stage worms. Moose resistance to P. tenuis is much lower than white-tailed deer, which results in a higher mortality rate. [9] Infected deer density, temperature, climate conditions, and length of transmission periods all affect transmission levels.

Behold, a pale horse. Well, not quite, but it’s close enough. Seeing an all-white deer is almost as rare as seeing a unicorn. Witnessing them in their full form is so rare that sightings take on ...
The rut for white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) usually lasts three weeks in the Northern Hemisphere and may occur most of the year in tropical zones. The rut is the time when white-tail deer, especially bucks, are more active and less cautious than usual.
