Abstract
Parelaphostrongylus andersoni is a muscle-dwelling nematode that infects caribou and white-tailed deer across North America, and can cause significant muscular and pulmonary pathology in these species. This paper provides the first report of P. andersoni in a herd of introduced reindeer from Seward Peninsula, Alaska, USA, and discuss the broader significance of host movements and colonization in ungulates of North America.
