Selenium and white muscle disease in woodchucks.

Fleming WJ, Haschek WM, Gutenmann WH, Caslick JW, Lisk DJ.

Gross and histologic examination of wood chcks (Marmota monax) trapped on farms in Central New York revealed white muscle disease(WMD). The concentration of selenium in the animal tissues, vegetation and soils in the vicinity of trapping did not consistently correlate with the presence of WMD.
