In addition, we opportunistically hand-collected insects at these sites, including wood cockroaches ( Parcoblatta virginica), and maintained them in the lab until they passed adult worms.

To identify its definitive host, we installed a series of pitfall traps along 3 first-order streams at 4 sites: Elk Creek, Upper Elk Creek, Maple Creek, and West Oak Creek, all located northwest of Lincoln, Nebraska.
