Eighty-six adult female white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann), collected over a 12-mo period in the Texas Edwards Plateau, harbored six species of nematodes (Haemonchus contortus, Gongylonema pulchrum, Oesophagostomum venulosum, Ostertagia ostertagi, Cooperia sp., and Apteragia odocoilei), and two cestodes (Moniezia sp. and Taenia hydatigena). The patterns of distribution of the three common species of gastrointestinal helminths (H. contortus, O. venulosum, and G. pulchrum) were overdispersed. When analyzed for the main and interactive effects of the extrinsic and intrinsic variables of season and physical condition, respectively, aggregated abundances in H. contortus and O. venulosum appeared to result from the main effect of seasonal changes operating over the collective populations of these two species rather than from the intrinsic factor of physical condition operating within selected subpopulations. Abomasal parasite counts do not appear to be a useful index for monitoring herd condition of white-tailed deer from this geographic region.
在得克萨斯州爱德华兹高原为期12个月的时间里收集的86只成年雌性白尾鹿（Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann）体内，寄生着6种线虫（捻转血矛线虫、美丽筒线虫、微小食道口线虫、奥氏奥斯特线虫、库柏属线虫和白尾鹿无翼线虫）和2种绦虫（莫尼茨绦虫属和泡状带绦虫）。三种常见胃肠蠕虫（捻转血矛线虫、微小食道口线虫和美丽筒线虫）的分布模式呈过度分散。分别分析季节和身体状况等外在和内在变量的主要及交互作用时，捻转血矛线虫和微小食道口线虫的聚集丰度似乎是由这两个物种总体种群上季节性变化的主要作用导致的，而非选定亚种群内身体状况的内在因素所致。皱胃寄生虫计数似乎并非监测该地理区域白尾鹿种群状况的有用指标。
