| dynamics of maternal antibodies to hemorrhagic disease viruses (reoviridae: orbivirus) in white-tailed deer. | enzootic stability, potentially associated with acquired resistance and subsequent transfer of maternal antibodies, innate resistance, or both, has been hypothesized to explain the lack of reports of hemorrhagic disease (hd) in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from texas. the objectives of this research were to determine the following: how long maternal antibodies to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (ehd) and bluetongue (bt) viruses persist; whether fawns from an enzootic site are natural ... | 2002 | 12038122 |
| precipitating antibodies to epizootic hemorrhagic disease and bluetongue viruses in white-tailed deer in the southeastern united states. | from 1981 to 1989, sera were collected from 3,077 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in georgia and from 1,749 deer from 12 additional states in the southeastern united states. in georgia, prevalence of precipitating antibodies to epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) and bluetongue virus (btv), as determined by agar gel immunodiffusion tests, was dependent on physiographic region, age, and year. overall prevalence of antibodies to ehdv and/or btv was 11, 33, 48, and 14% for the mou ... | 1991 | 1676762 |
| bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease in ruminants in georgia: survey by serotest and virologic isolation. | the frequencies of precipitating antibodies to bluetongue virus (btv) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) in domestic ruminants and white-tailed deer (wtd) in georgia were 36% and 32%, respectively (n = 2,200). the frequencies of seropositivity to btv and ehdv were high among cattle (47% and 42%, respectively [n = 1,068]) and less so in wtd (36% and 34% [n = 414]). the frequencies among sheep were 34% for btv and 29% for ehdv (n = 286), whereas among goats, seropositivity was 8% for b ... | 1985 | 2998240 |
| monitoring of culicoides spp. at a site enzootic for hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer in georgia, usa. | biting midges of the genus culicoides (diptera: ceratopogonidae) were monitored at a georgia (usa) site where epizootic hemorrhagic disease (ehd) and bluetongue (bt) viruses are enzootic among white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). collections were made using a captive white-tailed deer and light traps from june 1993 through november 1994. we collected 210,482 females from the captive deer during morning and evening periods. predominant species were c. lahillei (73%), c. stellifer (16%), c. ... | 1996 | 9359063 |
| antibodies to bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses in a barrier island white-tailed deer population. | from 1981 through 1989, serum samples from 855 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from ossabaw island, georgia (usa), were tested for antibodies to bluetongue virus (btv) and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv). during this period, prevalence of precipitating antibodies to btv and ehdv as determined by agar gel immunodiffusion (agid) tests decreased from 74% to 3% and from 34% to 1%, respectively. antibodies were detected in serum samples from 0.5-yr-old deer only during 1981, 198 ... | 1991 | 1684621 |
| epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus and bluetongue virus serotype distribution in white-tailed deer in georgia. | serum samples collected from 1,396 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in five areas of georgia (usa) from 1989 to 1991 were tested for precipitating and serum neutralizing (sn) antibodies to the enzootic north american epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (ehdv) and bluetongue virus (btv) serotypes. precipitating antibodies to the ehdv or btv serogroups, as detected by agar gel immunodiffusion (agid) tests, were present in 35%, 29%, and 39% of deer sampled in 1989, 1990, and 1991, respect ... | 1995 | 8592353 |
| population health of fallow deer (dama dama) on little st. simons island, georgia, usa. | fallow deer (dama dama) were introduced to little st. simons island, georgia, usa in the 1920s and thrive at high population densities, to the exclusion of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginina). the presence of introduced pathogens and parasites as a result of their introduction is currently unknown, as is the impact of native disease on the exotic fallow deer. hunter-killed fallow deer from 2003-2005 were necropsied and surveyed for evidence of infectious disease, parasitic agents, and toxic ... | 2009 | 19395750 |
