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.
