Discovery
Symptoms of elaeophorosis were first observed in 1933, in sheep (New Mexico) and mule deer (Utah) infested by an unknown nematode worm. Specimens were first described as Macdonaldius sp. in 1934, and later revised to Elaeophora schneideri Wehr and Dikmans, 1935. A more complete description of adults from elk, sheep and deer was published in 1968.

It is all the more serious since, with the loss of my rule V, not only the foundations of my arithmetic, but also the sole possible foundations of arithmetic seem to vanish.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
“We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.”
