Parasites, poor health, weather eyed in Indiana deer deaths
April 28, 2021 GMT
KENTLAND, Ind. (AP) Dozens of deer found dead this winter in northwest Indiana may have died from a combination of parasites, poor health and cold, snowy conditions, state officials say.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said Wednesday that about 40 white-tailed deer were found dead in late February and early March on private property in Newton County after a heavy snowfall melted.
Test results from the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab at Purdue University found that the wild deer were infested with parasites known as lung worm, which occur commonly throughout the deer’s range, the DNR said.
