Distribution of Spiculopteragia pursglovei and S. odocoilei (Nematoda: Trichostrongyloidea) from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the southeastern United States.

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.

Parasites, diseases, and health status of sympatric populations of sika deer and white-tailed deer in Maryland and Virginia.

In July 1981, investigations on parasites, diseases, and herd health status were conducted on sympatric populations of sika deer (Cervus nippon) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (Maryland) and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (Virginia) on the Delmarva Peninsula. Five adult deer of each species were collected from each location and subjected to thorough necropsy examinations and laboratory tests. White-tailed deer at both locations harbored protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites typically associated with this species throughout the southeastern United States. In contrast, sika deer at both locations harbored only light burdens of ticks, chiggers, and sarcocysts. Serologic tests for antibodies to seven infectious disease agents revealed evidence of exposure to bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, and parainfluenza3 virus in white-tailed deer, but only BVD virus in sika deer. At both locations the general health status of sika deer was superior to that of white-tailed deer.

Recent experience with tetanus in Alabama.

In recent years, all cases of tetanus reported in the United States have occurred either in unimmunized persons, partially immunized persons, or persons whose immunization history was uncertain. We present our experience with three unimmunized individuals who acquired this disease. One patient became ill after a "clean, minor wound." Present guidelines do not encourage immediate protection with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG) for unimmunized patients with this type of injury. We believe serious consideration should be given to modification of current recommendations to include the more liberal use of TIG, especially in nonimmune persons.
