Two species of Apteragia were found in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from 152 counties in 13 southeastern states. Specimens previously reported as Skrjabinagia odocoilei were reidentified as belonging to 2 similar species of the genus Apteragia, A. odocoilei, and A. pursglovei sp. n. Apteragia pursglovei sp. n. is differentiated primarily by the length, conformation, and degree of sclerotization of the spicules. Of the 824 deer, A. odocoilei occurred in 76.5%, A. pursglovei in 13.8%, both species in 5.0%, and neither in 4.7%. Reassessment of distribution data revealed that only A. odocoilei was present in deer from 99 counties, only A. pursglovei in deer from 25 counties, and both species in deer from 28 counties. Both A. odocoilei and A. pursglovei were found in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Apteragia odocoilei also occurred in Maryland, Tennessee, West Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey, and the Virgin Islands.
在东南部13个州的152个县的白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚鹿）中发现了两种无翼线虫。先前报告为奥氏斯克里亚宾线虫的标本被重新鉴定为属于无翼线虫属的2个相似物种，即奥氏无翼线虫和新种珀氏无翼线虫。珀氏无翼线虫主要通过交合刺的长度、形态和硬化程度来区分。在824只鹿中，奥氏无翼线虫的感染率为76.5%，珀氏无翼线虫为13.8%，两种线虫都感染的为5.0%，两种线虫都未感染的为4.7%。对分布数据的重新评估显示，在99个县的鹿中仅存在奥氏无翼线虫，在25个县的鹿中仅存在珀氏无翼线虫，在28个县的鹿中两种线虫都存在。在阿拉巴马州、阿肯色州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、肯塔基州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、北卡罗来纳州、南卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州都发现了奥氏无翼线虫和珀氏无翼线虫。奥氏无翼线虫还出现在马里兰州、田纳西州、西弗吉尼亚州、得克萨斯州、俄克拉何马州、新泽西州和维尔京群岛。
