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
virus-vector-host relationships of aedes stimulans and jamestown canyon virus in a northern indiana enzootic focus.collections of hematophagous diptera at the kingsbury state fish and wildlife area in northern indiana between 1982 and 1984 yielded 118,972 mosquitoes from which 5 isolates of jamestown canyon virus and 3 isolates of trivittatus virus were obtained. all jamestown canyon isolates were from aedes stimulans, including 1 from a pool of newly emerged males and 2 from pools of newly emerged females. these 3 isolates suggest that jamestown canyon virus is transovarially transmitted by ae. stimulans. a ...19862878626
serological evidence of california group and cache valley virus infection in minnesota white-tailed deer.blood samples were obtained from 138 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) harvested at three sites surrounding the greater minneapolis-st. paul, minnesota, metropolitan area (usa) and tested for neutralizing antibody to cache valley virus and three california serogroup (jamestown canyon, la crosse, trivittatus) viruses (bunyaviridae). deer at each site had neutralizing antibody to one or more california serogroup viruses and/or cache valley virus. the majority of adult deer (85%) had antib ...19911906113

isolations of jamestown canyon virus (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) from field-collected mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in connecticut, usa: a ten-year analysis, 1997-2006.jamestown canyon virus (jcv) (bunyaviridae: orthobunyavirus) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis belonging to the california serogroup. it has a wide geographic distribution, occurring throughout much of temperate north america. white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus are the principal amplification hosts, and boreal aedes and ochlerotatus mosquitoes are the primary vectors. a 10-year study was undertaken to identify potential mosquito vectors in connecticut, quantify seasonal prevalence rates of inf ...200818386967
the use of wildlife to monitor zoonoses.wildlife are usually considered vectors, reservoirs or primary targets of infectious disease. a seldom considered epidemiological role which they can play involves their use as disease sentinels for the detection and monitoring of zoonoses. their potential for such utilization has been demonstrated with the wild turkey (meleagris gallopava intermedia) and st. louis encephalitis in texas and the white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and california encephalitis in north america. the limitatio ...197016512144
serologic evidence of jamestown canyon virus infection in white-tailed deer populations from connecticut.we determined the prevalence and distribution of jamestown canyon (jc) virus antibody in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) populations in connecticut, usa. sera were collected from hunter-killed deer during 1993. antibody to jc virus was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in 92 (21%) of 446 deer sera, and was uniformly distributed among geographic sites. twenty-one elisa-positive sera were tested and confirmed positive by plaque reduction neutralization testing. this ...19979249710
isolation of jamestown canyon virus (a california group arbovirus) from a white-tailed deer. 19734706430
isolation of jamestown canyon and snowshoe hare viruses (california serogroup) from aedes mosquitoes in western massachusetts.three isolates of jamestown canyon virus and one isolate of snowshoe hare virus (california serogroup) were obtained from adult aedes females collected in western massachusetts in 1982. jamestown canyon virus was isolated from aedes abserratus/punctor once, and from aedes intrudens twice. snowshoe hare virus was isolated from aedes stimulans group mosquitoes. la crosse encephalitis (lac) virus was not isolated from 1,552 adult aedes triseriatus, nor from 22,557 aedes triseriatus larvae. however, ...19938350066
serologic evidence of jamestown canyon and keystone virus infection in vertebrates of the delmarva peninsula.serological data accumulated during the past decade indicated that a variety of feral and domestic animals of the delaware-maryland-virginia (delmarva) peninsula were infected with jamestown canyon (jc) and/or keystone (key) viruses (bunyaviridae, california serogroup). neutralizing (n) antibody to jc virus was most prevalent in white-tailed deer, sika deer, cottontail rabbits and horses. key virus n antibody was detected most frequently in gray squirrels and domestic goats. n antibody indicativ ...19827149110
jamestown canyon virus (california serogroup) is the etiologic agent of widespread infection in michigan humans.in a sample population of 780 michigan residents tested for neutralizing antibodies to california serogroup viruses, 216 (27.7%) had specific neutralizing antibody to jamestown canyon virus. an additional eight (1.0%) had specific neutralizing to trivittatus virus; none had specific neutralizing antibody to la crosse virus. significantly more male residents than female residents of the lower peninsula had antibody to jamestown canyon virus. the frequency of neutralizing antibody titers fits the ...19863953951
seroconversion rates to jamestown canyon virus among six populations of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in indiana.the annual seroconversion of fawns, yearlings, and adult white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) to jamestown canyon virus (california group) was followed at six indiana sites from 1981 through 1984. in all, sera from 1,642 deer (515 fawns, 618 yearlings, and 509 adults) were tested for neutralizing antibody to three california serogroup viruses: jamestown canyon, la crosse, and trivittatus. virtually all deer with specific neutralizing antibody showed evidence of a prior infection with james ...19873820426
infection of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in michigan with jamestown canyon virus (california serogroup) and the importance of maternal antibody in viral maintenance.sera collected from a captive population of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) penned in the lower peninsula of michigan were assayed over a 29-mo period for neutralizing antibody to california serogroup viruses. in all, 130 individual white-tailed deer were bled one to 22 times between june 1983 and november 1985. of the 130 sampled after active transmission had ceased, or passage of maternal antibody in colostrum had occurred, only one (0.8%), a newborn fawn, had no serum neutralizing ...19873102763
re-evaluating neonatal-age models for ungulates: does model choice affect survival estimates?new-hoof growth is regarded as the most reliable metric for predicting age of newborn ungulates, but variation in estimated age among hoof-growth equations that have been developed may affect estimates of survival in staggered-entry models. we used known-age newborns to evaluate variation in age estimates among existing hoof-growth equations and to determine the consequences of that variation on survival estimates. during 2001-2009, we captured and radiocollared 174 newborn (≤24-hrs old) ungulat ...201425264612
mitochondrial dna analysis of hybridization between sympatric white-tailed deer and mule deer in west texas.sympatric populations of white-tailed deer and mule deer (odocoileus virginianus and odocoileus hemionus, respectively) on a west texas ranch share a common mitochondrial dna restriction map genotype. phylogenetic analysis indicates that this genotype is more characteristic of o. virginianus than of o. hemionus. the genotype of west texas deer differs from that of o. virginianus from south carolina by five mutational events (1.3% sequence divergence), whereas it differs from that of o. hemionus ...19863467326
systemic adenovirus infection associated with high mortality in mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) in california.seventeen counties in northern california experienced epizootics of high mortality in the mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) population during the latter half of 1993. thirteen deer submitted to the california veterinary diagnostic laboratory system as part of this natural die-off had systemic adenovirus infection. pulmonary edema was present in all 13 deer. erosions, ulceration, and abscessation of the upper alimentary tract occurred in 7/13 deer. four of 13 deer had hemorrhagic enteritis. all 13 ...19968801705
