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% ...1979448613
isolation of borrelia burgdorferi (spirochaetales: spirochaetaceae) from ixodes scapularis and dermacentor albipictus ticks (acari: ixodidae) in oklahoma.borrelia burgdorferi was isolated from ixodes scapularis say and dermacentor albipictus packard that were removed as partially fed adults from white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus zimmermann, in oklahoma. isolation in media was accomplished only after homogenates of pooled field-collected ticks were inoculated into laboratory-reared peromyscus leucopus and reisolated from the urinary bladder into bsk ii media. both isolates were confirmed by western blot analysis and reactivity with monoclo ...19921495072

new version of lstsim for computer simulation of amblyomma americanum (acari: ixodidae) population dynamics.a previous version of lone star tick simulation model (lstsim) for a wildlife ecosystem was revised and expanded to include a beef cattle forage area and improved handling of tick-host-habitat interactions. relationships between environmental and biological variables were also refined in the new version. general validity of the revised model was established by comparing simulated and observed host-seeking populations of amblyomma americanum (l.) at five geographic locations, three in oklahoma an ...19938254630
ehrlichia spp. in cervids from california.blood samples from six mule deer (odocoileus hemionus hemionus), 15 black-tailed deer (o. hemionus columbianus), and 29 elk (cervus elaphus nannodes) were assayed for human monocytic and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (hge) by polymerase chain reaction (pcr), dna sequencing, and serology to determine whether or not cervids are involved in the maintenance of these potential human pathogens in california (usa). the deer were sampled in august to october 1992-95. the 29 tule elk from point reyes n ...19989813842
occurrence of the gulf coast tick (acari: ixodidae) on wild and domestic mammals in north-central oklahoma.parasitic life stages of amblyomma maculatum koch were collected from domestic cattle and several species of wild mammals during a 3.5-yr study (may 1998-october 2001) in north-central oklahoma. adult ticks were the predominant life stage collected from cattle, white-tailed deer, coyotes, and raccoons, whereas only immature ticks were collected from cotton rats and white-footed mice. the prevalence of adult a. maculatum on white-tailed deer (n = 15) examined in june, july, and august 1998 was 80 ...200415061275
merogonic stages of theileria cervi in mule deer (odocoileus hemionus).in february 2012, 12 farmed mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) were moved from a facility in southwestern oklahoma to a facility in southeastern oklahoma that housed 100 farmed white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). between the third and fifth weeks, 9 of the 12 mule deer had died, 4 of which were submitted for necropsy. the deer were heavily infested with amblyomma americanum (lone star ticks). hematologic data from 1 deer revealed severe anemia, leukocytosis, and intraerythrocytic hemoparasi ...201324029405
characterization of mhc-drb allelic diversity in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) provides insight into mhc-drb allelic evolution within cervidae.although white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) are one of north america's best studied mammals, no information is available concerning allelic diversity at any locus of the major histocompatibility complex in this taxon. using the polymerase chain reaction, single-stranded conformation polymorphism analysis, and dna sequencing techniques, 15 drb exon 2 alleles were identified among 150 white-tailed deer from a single population in southeastern oklahoma. these alleles represent a single locu ...199910199919
