We are four brothers who built SYLVA Deer Manager to solve a problem we had ourselves: too many valuable deer records ending up scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and unfinished notes.

So we built a deer management platform made up of a mobile app and a web dashboard β€” to record from the field, review later, and turn deer management records into maps, statistics and reports.

And now, it’s available for you to use.

SYLVA Deer Manager is now available on iOS and Android, and the web platform is live too.

πŸ‚Try it for for free, and tell us what you think in the comments.

Download the app or visit our website to see how it works.

Intestinal parasites in wild boar πŸ—’οΈ quick field guide

Wild boar commonly harbour intestinal parasites. Most infections are subclinical, but recognising key findings in the field is highly valuable.

Intestinal parasites, broadly divided into:

πŸ‘‰ HELMINTHS (worms)

πŸͺ± Nematodes (roundworms)

- Ascaris suum
Large, visible worms
Free in small intestine

- Oesophagostomum spp.
Small nodules
In gut wall

- Trichuris suis
Thin, whip-like
Embedded in mucosa

🧩 Cestdodes (tapeworms)

Seen mainly as larval cysts. Located in abdominal cavity / tissues. Adult stage develops in canids (foxes, dogs)

🧷 Acanthocephalans

Rare
Hooked head
Attached to intestinal wall

πŸ‘‰ PROTOZOA (microscopic)

🦠 Eimeria
Microscopic
Not visible in field

πŸ“ FIELD TAKEAWAY

- Most findings are common and expected

- Parasites act as indicators of environmental contamination

- Higher prevalence is linked to:
- High population density
- Repeated use of feeding areas

- Most intestinal parasites in wild boar are unlikely to infect people directly

Understanding what you see supports evidence-based wildlife management
