Abstract
Varestrongylus alces, a lungworm in Eurasian moose from Europe has been considered a junior synonym of Varestrongylus capreoli, in European roe deer, due to a poorly detailed morphological description and the absence of a type-series. This study uses combined morphological and molecular approaches to resurrect and redescribe V. alces.
