Abstract
A putative new species of nematode (Varestrongylus) has been recently recognized in wild North American ungulates. Recent collections of adult nematodes from the bronchioles of caribou and muskoxen now allow a complete species description and characterization. This study proposes the establishment of Varestrongylus eleguneniensis species name for this geographically wide-spread, multi-host protostrongylid lungworm occurring across northern North America.
