Description: Provides information on the brain or deer worm, Paralaphostrongylus tenius, and the illness it causes in sheep and goats, the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, with a movie of an affected goat.
The meningeal worm is an internal parasite ( ) of the white-tailed deer that usually completes its life cycle in the deer without causing significant problems. However, when unnatural hosts, such as sheep, goats, and camelids become infested with meningeal worm, the parasite moves into the brain and/or spinal cord and causes neurological problems that can be fatal. Llamas and alpacas seem to be particularly susceptible to meningeal worm infection. Cattle are not known to be affected. While not as common in horses, meningeal worm infection is possible in horses. Meningeal worm is not a health concern to humans.
