Diseases and parasites are often blamed for the rather severe population fluctuations that characterize the history of Gambel Quail (Lophortyx gambelii) behavior over a period of years. Although evidence obtained during the course of studies conducted on Nevada's deserts from 1950 to 1954 suggested that other factors are more important as population influences, a certain amount of information was obtained concerning diseases and parasites of this plumed quail.
