| immunologic and molecular identification of babesia bovis and babesia bigemina in free-ranging white-tailed deer in northern mexico. | the suitability of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) as hosts for the cattle ticks rhipicephalus (boophilus) microplus and rhipicephalus (boophilus) annulatus, has been well documented. these ticks have a wide host range, and both transmit babesia bovis and babesia bigemina, the agents responsible for bovine babesiosis. although this disease and its vectors have been eradicated from the united states and some states in northern mexico, it still is a problem in other mexican states. it i ... | 2007 | 17699089 |
| epizootiology of babesia bovis and babesia bigemina in free-ranging white-tailed deer in northeastern mexico. | species of rhipicephalus (boophilus) ticks are the vectors of babesiosis (cattle fever tick), which are distributed worldwide. white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) are important secondary hosts for the cattle fever ticks, rhipicephalus (b.) annulatus and rhipicephalus (b.) microplus. white-tailed deer are capable of sustaining boophilus spp. tick populations in the presence or absence of cattle. the objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of babesia bovis and babesia bigem ... | 2009 | 19642800 |
| prevalence of infectious agents in free-ranging white-tailed deer in northeastern mexico. | the objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of antibodies against brucellosis, leptospirosis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, and bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in northeastern mexico. deer (n=521) were captured from helicopter using a netgun on 15 ranches covering 62,114 ha in the states of coahuila, nuevo leon, and tamaulipas during spring 2004. the prevalence of antibodies against leptospira, infectious bovine rhinot ... | 2008 | 18957659 |
