gastrointestinal nematode infections in wild ruminants rupicapra rupicapra and dama dama: influence of density and cohabitation with domestic ruminants.	the distribution of gastrointestinal nematodes in different populations of wild ruminants has been studied with regard to density of the animals and the presence of domestic ruminants in the habitat. the degree of parasite overdispersion among the hosts has been examined in the hypothesis of a negative binomial model of distribution. the results show that the density has a greater weight than cohabitation with domestic ruminants, in destabilizing the host-parasite relationship.	1985	3870641

light and electron microscope study of sarcocystis sp. from the fallow deer (cervus dama).	by means of light and electron microscopy a study was made of sarcocystis sp. from 11 fallow deer (cervus dama). cysts of sarcocystis sp. were found in the tongue and abdominal muscle of 3 of 11 deer from forests near bonn (frg). these measured 212-560 micron in length and 54-120 micron in width and contained metrocytes and merozoites. the cyst wall, which had narrow band-like protrusions, is compared with other sarcocystis sp. from cervidae.	1985	3920839
a comparative study of the hyoid bone (os hyoides) of 6 ruminant species (ruminantia scopoli, 1777).	the shape, position and measurements of the hyoid bone of 6 small and medium-sized european ruminant species of different feeding types as classified by hofmann (1976), (rose deer, mouflon, sheep, red deer, fallow deer and goat) were fully described. a comparison with other domestic species was carried out, the most characteristic species differences were shown and the results were expressed in 9 figs. and 1 table. the basic structural plan of the hyoid bone is found to be similar in all species ...	1985	3993965
lack of biochemical polymorphism in british fallow deer.	seven-hundred and ninety-four samples of fallow deer (dama dama l.) blood or tissue were collected from 37 sites in england and wales. a selection of these samples was screened for electrophoretic variation at each of 30 loci (minimum of 88 samples per locus). no genetic variation was found. possible explanations for the lack of polymorphism are discussed. it is suggested that european fallow deer experienced a genetic bottleneck during a period of captivity in mesolithic or neolithic times.	1985	4055416

blood coagulation parameters in clinically normal intensively farmed red deer (cervus elaphus) and fallow deer (dama dama).	reference ranges for five parameters of blood coagulation were established in clinically normal farmed fallow deer (dama dama) and red deer (cervus elaphus). storage of plasma at -15 degrees c resulted in small increases in activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt) for both species, and in the one stage prothrombin time (ospt) of fallow deer, between days 1 and 30. these times were then stable between days 30 and 60. the fibrinogen levels of fallow deer plasma showed a small apparent increase ...	1985	16031096
[demonstration of mating behavior in the field in the european fallow deer (dama d. dama)].	adult males of a fallow deer population aggregate in a seasonal permanent rutting assembly. according to its spatial and behavioural characteristics, it is concluded that this assembly is a lek.	1986	3099987
[diseases of the fallow deer in northeastern bulgaria and their prevention].	stated are the values of the basic microelements in fallow deer in the region of northeast bulgaria as established through biogeochemical analysis. in unfavourable years metabolism is disturbed resulting in lowering the defense mechanism of the body. a number of bacterial species, and, more specifically, escherichia coli increase their virulence and cause gastrointestinal disorders and diseases. copper, selenium, and arsenic deficiency lead to endemic ataxia with characteristic clinical symptoms ...	1986	3544470
potential role of native and exotic deer and their associated ticks (acari: ixodidae) in the ecology of lyme disease in california, usa.	the relationship of native columbian black-tailed deer, two species of exotic deer (axis and fallow), and their ticks to the lyme disease spirochete, borrelia burgdorferi, was studied in coastal and inland areas of northern california, usa. spirochetemias were detected in 27% of black-tailed deer, 50% of axis deer, and 56% of fallow deer collected in late fall and winter. antibody prevalence was 38% in black-tailed deer, 24% in fallow deer, and 6% in axis deer. one to 3 tick species were collect ...	1986	3554845
evidence of paratuberculosis in ohio's white-tailed deer, as determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.	an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed and used to detect antibodies to mycobacterium paratuberculosis in serum samples obtained in december of 1983 from 954 hunter-killed white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in 13 ohio counties. positive or negative status was determined by calculating a signal-to-noise ratio, a ratio between the optical density of the test serum and negative reference sera; a ratio of greater than or equal to 3.0 was considered positive. twenty-four s ...	1986	3099612
[health problems in fallow deer for meat production].	though fallow deer is considered very resistant to infectious diseases and parasites, diseases of different kind occur in enclosed pastures. normally the diseases are the same as with wild animals or with farm ruminants. diseases limited only to fallow deer are not known up to now. parasitic diseases are a common problem, and prophylactic measures are necessary in all enclosed pastures to control parasites. most losses in the enclosed pastures at the state farms of grub and romenthal caused by i ...	1986	3824365
[fatty acid content of the lipid fraction of the meat from deer and roe deer].	investigations were carried out on musculus longissimus dorsi as sampled from 8 deer, weighing 90 to 120 kg, and from 10 fallow deer, weighing 25 to 35 kg, hunted in the autumn-winter season of 1983-1984. fatty acid determination was performed via gas chromatograph pye unicam, model 104, supplied with a flame-ionization detector. it was found that the average content of fatty acids in the lipid fraction of m. longissimus dorsi from deer in percent to the total amount of fatty acids was 1.82% for ...	1986	3727371
