The role E. schneideri plays in clinical morbidity or mortality of moose remains uncertain. We sampled predominantly hunter-killed adult moose (n=127) to characterize the spatial patterns of prevalence and intensity of worms in carotid arteries of moose in Montana. We compared prevalence and intensity of E. schneideri within these moose to a separate sample of adult moose that died of health-related causes (n=34). We found lower prevalence in northwest Montana (0.06) than in the remainder of the state (0.42). We also found both higher prevalence of E. schneideri and higher intensity to be correlated with increased probability of health-related mortality. Our results suggest presence and intensity of E. schneideri correlate with mortality of moose, although the mechanisms of mortality remain uncertain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7589\/jwd-d-22-00075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,24]],"date-time":"2023-10-24T06:26:41Z","timestamp":1698128801000},"page":"748-752","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence and Mortality of Moose (Alces alces) Infected with Elaeophora schneideri in Montana, USA"],"prefix":"10.7589","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Nicholas J.","family":"DeCesare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, 3201 Spurgin Road, Missoula, Montana 59804, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard B.","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, 1420 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana 59620, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Collin J.","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, 490 North Meridian Road, Kalispell, Montana 59901, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer M.","family":"Ramsey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, 1400 South 19th Avenue, Bozeman, Montana 59718, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4415","reference":[{"key":"14","unstructured":"\"R: A language and environment for statistical computing.\"  (2021)"},{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"JL Adcock  and CP Hibler  \"Pathol Vet.\"  6, \"Vascular and neuro-ophthalmic pathology of elaeophorosis in elk.\" 185 (1969)","DOI":"10.1177\/030098586900600301"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"RC.
