Extract

The nematode described here was collected by the Wyoming field party of the United States Bureau of Fisheries during the summer of 1934. The Rocky Mountain whitefish, the Eastern Brook trout, and the rainbow trout serve as hosts for the parasite. In several instances pathological changes, particularly of the gonads, were found to accompany its presence.
