<p><span>A history is given of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge and the losses of goslings of Canada geese (</span><i>Branta canadensis</i><span>) recorded since inception of the refuge in 1935. Since 1960, when more reliable data became available, losses have been extensive every 4 years. Gosling deaths are attributed to the infection with </span><i>Leucocytozoon simondi</i><span>. The blackfly (</span><i>Simulium innocens</i><span>) is considered to be the prime vector in the transmission of this blood parasite to goslings.</span></p>
