In
Roman mythology, Verminus ("worm-god") was the god of the cattle-
worms. He was known for exposing worms and healing cows if appeased with an offering of the finest veal. This would of course involve killing a young cow, and so it was only done by those who had large herds of cows. This may be the reason that Verminus doesn't appear in many texts of Rome.
