Pinter AJ, O'Dell WD, Watkins RA. 1988. Intestinal Parasites of Small Mammals from Grand Teton National Park. Journal of Parasitology. 74(1):187-188
A study of the prevalence and identity of Giardia spp. in small mammals of Grand Teton National Park was undertaken. All 90 montane voles examined were positive for Giardia as were 4 pocket gophers, 1 water shrew, 4 water voles, and 2 meadow voles. How and why these findings contrast with the findings of others are discussed.
