Two size-groups of dorsal-spined, first-stage, nematode larvae were found in feces of woodland caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin), in Alberta from 1976-1982. Larvae from caribou feces in northeastern Alberta were 451 +/- 17 micrograms in length, while those from west-central Alberta were 362 +/- 18 micrograms in length. Larvae collected from west-central Alberta developed to the infective stage, experimentally, in the terrestrial gastropod Triodopsis multilineata (Say) and were infective to captive mule deer fawns, Odocoileus H. hemionus (Rafinesque). Adult nematodes, identified as Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei (Hobmaier and Hobmaier, 1934), were recovered from the skeletal muscles of the mule deer.
1976年至1982年期间，在艾伯塔省林地驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin)）的粪便中发现了两组不同大小的背刺线虫一期幼虫。来自艾伯塔省东北部驯鹿粪便中的幼虫长度为451±17微克，而来自艾伯塔省中西部的幼虫长度为362±18微克。从艾伯塔省中西部采集的幼虫在陆生腹足动物多线三齿螺（Triodopsis multilineata (Say)）中实验性地发育到感染阶段，并对圈养的骡鹿幼崽（Odocoileus H. hemionus (Rafinesque)）具有感染性。从骡鹿的骨骼肌中发现了被鉴定为奥氏副圆线虫（Parelaphostrongylus odocoilei (Hobmaier和Hobmaier, 1934)）的成年线虫。
