| 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 |
| 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 |
| serological activity of white-tail deer against several species of brucella. | in mexico, brucellosis is a widely distributed disease of domesticated ruminants, but its frequency in wild ruminants has not been documented. since northeast mexico is the main distribution area of white-tailed deer and has been reported as an area positive for brucellosis in domesticated species, the present study was conducted in order to determine serological activity against several species of the genus brucella in white-tailed deer. a total of 208 sera of white-tailed deer were collected d ... | 1998 | 10932740 |
