Parelaphostrongylus tenuis
Parelaphostrongylus tenuis or brainworm is a small parasitic nematode that infects the brain of many ungulates. Its natural host, the white-tailed deer, is unaffected by its presence; other species, however, suffer severe neurological damage that eventually leads to death.
