O. tarsicola, décrit initialement chez Cervus elaphus, est retrouvé chez Rangifer tarandus, en Suède. Trois faits indiquent que c’est le Cerf qui paraît être l’hôte fondamental :
- 1.
Le Renne est parasité seulement par O. tarsicola tandis que des spéciations se sont effectuées chez le Cerf (trois espèces de la même lignée).
- 2.
O. tarsicola, fondamentalement logé au niveau des tendons des pattes, présente en outre des localisations aberrantes chez le Renne : ce phénomène est souvent observé chez les parasites transfuges.
- 3.
Les fortes infestations à O. tarsicola chez le Renne semblent dater de la fin des années 60 et, depuis, elles s’étendent de plus en plus.
Abstract
Onchocerca tarsicola is recorded from reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L.). This parasite is originally described from red deer (Cervus elaphus L.). There are indications that reindeer may not be the primary host of O. tarsicola :
- 1.
Reindeer is parasitized only by O. tarsicola whereas red deer, due to speciations, is carrying three related Onchocerca species from the same line.
- 2.
O. tarsicola, usually found along tendons distal of the tarsal and carpal joints, is in reindeer frequently found at aberrant locations which is commonly observed in connection with “transfuga” parasites.
- 3.
Heavy infestations of O. tarsicola in reindeer seem to have started in the late sixties and since then have become more and more extensive.
