| Summary: | (Pasteurelia multocida) and Trichostrongylus tenuis, may be 3 cestode, 7 nematode, and 3 trematode species. Gizzard 4 Attwater's prairie-chickens were performed. Geese harbored agents be conducted. Research on pathology of disease agents and numerous unidentified lice and mite species. Raillietina Attwater's prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri). Attwater's prairie-chicken. avium in 20 of 62, and T. tenuis in 60 of 62. Parasites did Because geese are known to contract these and other diseases bobwhite, and wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) for disease bobwhite. All hematologic tests and serologic tests were caerulescens), and 22 white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) crami) infected 53 of 54 examined gizzards. Trichostrongylus ectoparasites, endoparasites, and hemoparasites and examination of Attwater's prairie-chicken, sympatric northern frequently caused obvious localized damage to the gizzard from I bird. Geese appeared to harbor less potentially harmful parasites for the Attwater's prairie-chicken than did in all 3 Attwater's prairie-chickens examined for these individuals. Numerous unidentified lice and mites were taken intensity and host weight for either geese or northern is needed to determine the effects of these diseases on lining; other parasite species did not appear to cause negative. Dispharynx nasuta was found in I of 3 and T. tenuis northern bobwhite. It is recommended that further not appear to cause pathology in northern bobwhite. There of concern, 10 Canada (Branta canadensis), 24 snow (Chen parasites. Intensity of T. tenuis exceeded 1,100 in 2 pathology. Northern bobwhite harbored I cestode, 4 nematode, prairie-chickens with sympatric range, were examined for responsible for the continuing decline of the endangered serologically tested for 8 infectious diseases. Autopsies of spp. was found in 27 of 62 northern bobwhite, Strongyloides tenuis was found in 4 of 13 geese examined. Gizzard worms virginianus) (n = 62), the closest relative of Attwater's was no significant (P < 0.05) correlation of parasite were examined for endoparasites.
