Peu de maladies existent chez le caribou, mais l'infection par le ver des méninges (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) est celle qui retient le plus d'attention. Le cerf de Virginie est considéré comme l'hôte normal de ce parasite. Le maintien du parasite dans l'environnement se fait par la présence des larves excrétées qui poursuivent leur cycle vital en infectant plusieurs espèces d'escargots terrestres et de limaces. Bien que le ver des méninges soit inoffensif pour le cerf de Virginie, il est immanquablement fatal pour le caribou. 3, record 2, French, - ver%20des%20m%C3%A9ninges
