| white-tailed deer as a potential reservoir of ehrlichia spp. | we determined the antibody prevalence to ehrlichia spp., in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and the geographic distribution of seropositive animals in 84 counties in alabama, arkansas, florida, georgia, illinois, kentucky, louisiana, maryland, massachusetts, mississippi, missouri, north carolina, south carolina, tennessee, texas, virginia, and west virginia (usa). using an indirect fluorescent antibody test we detected antibodies (> or = 1:128) to this bacterium in 544 (43%) of 1269 d ... | 1994 | 8028099 |
| neurologic disease attributable to infection with parelaphostrongylus tenuis in blackbuck antelope. | substantial mortality attributable to infection with parelaphostrongylus tenuis was reported in 2 herds of blackbuck antelope (antelope cervicapra) in southwestern louisiana. both herds had outbreaks in which all affected antelope had neurologic disease and subsequently died. affected antelope were anorectic and weak. they staggered, trembled, isolated themselves from the herd, became recumbent, and, possibly, were blind. in 1 herd, 6 of 27 antelope were affected, and in the second herd, 7 antel ... | 1996 | 8926198 |
| parelaphostrongylus tenuis on wassaw island, georgia: a result of translocating white-tailed deer. | meningeal worms (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) were found in each of five white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) examined from wassaw island, chatham county, georgia, in september 1993. this represents the first reported occurrence of the parasite on a southeastern barrier island and extends its geographic distribution approximately 140 km beyond the nearest known infected mainland deer population. according to an anecdotal account, six white-tailed deer were imported from pennsylvania and rel ... | 1996 | 9359075 |

| culture and serologic survey for mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection among southeastern white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). | from july 1998 through october 2002, radiometric culture (ileocecal lymph node, mesenteric lymph node, and feces) and serologic testing by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) were used to survey white-tailed deer (odocoilens virgianus) from the soutlheastern united states for infection by mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (mptb), the causative agent of paratuberculosis (johne's disease). mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis was isolated from the ileocecal lymph node of one ... | 2004 | 15362831 |
| insect succession and decomposition of wildlife carcasses during fall and winter in louisiana. | fourteen fresh animal carcasses were monitored throughout decomposition in a mixed flatwood forest in east baton rouge parish, la, from 5 october to 7 december 1999 (fall) and from 18 january to 30 march 2000 (winter). species composition and residency patterns of necrophilous insects were documented for four animal species per seasonal experiment: one louisiana black bear (threatened species), two white-tailed deer, two alligators, and two swine (experimental reference). results suggested varia ... | 2005 | 15799530 |
| first report of bluetongue virus serotype 1 isolated from a white-tailed deer in the united states. | in november 2004, tissues were collected from a hunter-killed white-tailed deer in st. mary parish, louisiana. bluetongue virus (btv) was isolated from the tissues; however, the isolate could not be identified as any of the us domestic serotypes. subsequent testing by virus neutralization using serotype-specific antiserum tentatively identified the isolate as btv serotype 1 (btv-1), which had not previously been found in the united states. primers were designed based on the sequence of an outer ... | 2006 | 16921883 |
| detection of bluetongue virus rna in field-collected culicoides spp. (diptera: ceratopogonidae) following the discovery of bluetongue virus serotype 1 in white-tailed deer and cattle in louisiana. | in november 2004, bluetongue virus (family reoviridae, genus orbivirus, btv) serotype 1 (btv-1) was detected for the first time in the united states from a hunter-killed deer in st. mary parish, la. in 2005, sera surveys were conducted on three cattle farms near the area where the deer was found, and btv-1-seropositive cattle were found on two of the three farms; in 2006, sera surveys from the cattle on the three farms did not detect any btv-1-positive animals. the purpose of this study was to s ... | 2010 | 20380309 |
| prevalence of escherichia coli o157:h7 in white-tailed deer from louisiana. | escherichia coli o157:h7 (ec o157) is an important zoonosis. white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) have been implicated in transmission of this bacterium to humans and have been suggested as reservoirs that might affect carriage in cattle populations. our study objectives were to estimate prevalence of ec o157 in feces of hunter-harvested deer and to describe fecal shedding patterns in a captive herd sampled over 1 yr. prevalence of ec o157 in hunter-harvested deer was 0.3% (n = 338). in au ... | 2004 | 15362843 |
| spring succession of necrophilous insects on wildlife carcasses in louisiana. | seven fresh animal carcasses were monitored throughout decomposition in a mixed flatwood forest in east baton rouge parish, la from 1 april to 1 july 1999. succession patterns of necrophilous insects were documented for the following: one louisiana black bear (threatened species), two white-tailed deer, two alligators, and two swine as the experimental reference. our results suggest variation in the species composition of necrophilous insects among animal carcass types. a total of 93 arthropod s ... | 2003 | 12943113 |

| seroepidemiology of anaplasma marginale in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from louisiana. | antibodies to anaplasma marginale were detected by the indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifa) in six of 331 (2%) serum samples of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from louisiana. none of the serum samples were positive using the a. marginale modified rapid card agglutination test. of the six ifa positive sera retested by the complement fixation test four sera gave anticomplementary and two gave seropositive reactions. the low a. marginale reactor rate in this white-tailed deer popula ... | 1989 | 2668567 |
| apteragia pursglovei sp. n. (trichostrongyloidea: trichostrongylidae) from the white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus. | two species of apteragia were found in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from 152 counties in 13 southeastern states. specimens previously reported as skrjabinagia odocoilei were reidentified as belonging to 2 similar species of the genus apteragia, a. odocoilei, and a. pursglovei sp. n. apteragia pursglovei sp. n. is differentiated primarily by the length, conformation, and degree of sclerotization of the spicules. of the 824 deer, a. odocoilei occurred in 76.5%, a. pursglovei in 13.8% ... | 1979 | 448613 |
