Carotid artery Worms in Western Wyoming Moose

[2rocky]

As many as 50 percent of moose in western Wyoming could carry the carotid artery worm — Elaeophora schneideri, formally — a species of nematode that is transmitted among animals like elk, moose, sheep and deer by horseflies, according to an ongoing study. Infected moose can become blind, have malformed antlers or cropped ears and noses.

I've seen fewer and fewer moose in W, Wyo and I know predation is high on the herd.

Anyone run into a moose with this affliction?
