| serologic survey of selected pathogens in white-tailed and mule deer in western nebraska. | exposure of free-ranging white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) in western nebraska to selected livestock pathogens was determined by serology and attempted virus isolation. antibodies to bluetongue virus, epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus were present in both species of deer. no serologic reactors to brucella or anaplasma were found. attempts to isolate bluetongue virus were negative. | 1986 | 2845156 |
| meningeal worm in free-ranging deer in nebraska. | the meningeal worm (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) was found in 22 (7%) of 300 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) (257 adults, 43 fawns) examined from nebraska (usa) during november 1996. none of 53 mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) (47 adults and 6 fawns) examined were infected. twenty-two white-tailed deer from 18 counties in eastern nebraska were infected with parelaphostrongylus tenuis. this is the first record of p. tenuis in white-tailed deer from this state. | 1999 | 10073356 |
| absence of tuberculosis in free-ranging deer in nebraska. | lymph nodes from 271 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) in nebraska (usa) were examined microscopically for tuberculoid lesions. lymph nodes lesions in at least one node were found in 12 deer. lesions were examined with zeihl-neelson acid fast stains and by polymerase chain reactions using m. bovis specific probes. no evidence of tuberculosis was found. the small granulomatous lesions were likely caused by other bacteria. | 1999 | 10073357 |
| escherichia coli o157:h7 in free-ranging deer in nebraska. | in order to determine the prevalence and distribution of the human pathogen, escherichia coli o157:h7, in free-ranging deer, hunters were asked to collect and submit fecal samples from deer harvested during a regular firearm season (14-22 november 1998). prior to the season, 47% of the hunters with permits in the southeastern nebraska (usa) study area indicated a willingness to participate in the study. approximately 25% of successful hunters in the area submitted deer fecal samples. escherichia ... | 2001 | 11763739 |
| prevalence and serovars of salmonella in the feces of free-ranging white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in nebraska. | to determine the prevalence and serovars of salmonella in free-ranging deer, we cultured feces from white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) harvested by hunters during a regular firearm season in southeastern nebraska (usa). we recovered salmonella from 5 (1%; 95% confidence interval: 0.37-2.20%) of 500 samples and identified four different salmonella enterica serovars [litchfield (1), dessau (1), infantis (2), and enteritidis (1)]. although the prevalence of salmonella in free-ranging deer a ... | 2006 | 17092906 |
| first observation of elaeophora schneideri wehr and dikmans, 1935 (nematoda:filariidae) in mule deer from nebraska. | between november 2000 and november 2005, approximately 200 mule deer (odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from western nebraska were extensively examined for the presence of elaeophora schneideri, wehr and dikmans, 1935; three adult e. schneideri were detected from three mule deer. this represents the first documented occurrence of e. schneideri from wild deer in nebraska. | 2007 | 17347405 |
| lone star tick (acari: ixodidae) occurrence in nebraska: historical and current perspectives. | in 2010 and 2011, field collections were undertaken to determine the geographic range of the lone star tick, amblyomma americanum (l.), in nebraska in addition, tick identifications from submissions by the general public dating to 1911 were examined. consistent lone star tick identifications from extreme southeast nebraska began in 1987. specimens have been identified from 27 counties, making lone star ticks the second most frequently and second most widely reported tick in the state after derma ... | 2013 | 23540110 |
| review of the 2012 epizootic hemorrhagic disease outbreak in domestic ruminants in the united states. | an unusually large number of cases of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (ehd) were observed in united states cattle and white-tailed deer in the summer and fall of 2012. usda aphis veterinary services area offices were asked to report on foreign animal disease investigations and state diagnostic laboratory submissions which resulted in a diagnosis of ehd based on positive pcr results. ehd was reported in the following species: cattle (129 herds), captive white-tailed deer (65 herds), bison (8 herds) ... | 2015 | 26244773 |
| prevalence of agglutinating antibodies to toxoplasma gondii in adult and fetal mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) from nebraska. | toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite of mammals and birds. herbivores acquire postnatal infection by ingesting oocysts from contaminated food or water. toxoplasma gondii infection is common in white-tailed deer, odocoileus virginianus, but little is known about the prevalence of infection in mule deer, o. hemionus. we examined sera from 89 mule deer from nebraska for agglutinating antibodies to t. gondii using the modified direct agglutination test (mat) with formalin-fixed tachyzoites ... | 2005 | 16539039 |
| polymorphisms in the prion precursor functional gene but not the pseudogene are associated with susceptibility to chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer. | chronic wasting disease (cwd) status and prp genotypes were determined for a group of 133 wild white-tailed deer in a 780 acre enclosure in western nebraska, usa. approximately half of the deer tested showed evidence of prpd in the brainstem or lymphoid tissues. four prnp alleles encoding amino acid substitutions were identified, with substitutions at residues 95 (q-->h), 96 (g-->s) or 116 (a-->g), each with serine (s) at residue 138. in addition, a processed pseudogene with two alleles encoding ... | 2004 | 15105552 |
| parelaphostrongylus tenuis in captive pronghorn antelope (antilocapra americana) in nebraska. | lesions in four captive pronghorn antelope (antilocapra americana) naturally infected with parelaphostrongylus tenuis in eastern nebraska (usa) are described in this report. animals were bright and alert with hind limb ataxia that progressed to sternal or lateral recumbency between july 28 and october 17, 1998. animals were euthanized due to disease progression despite therapy. multifocal decubital ulcers over bony prominences occurred in two animals and chronic unilateral otitis media was prese ... | 2002 | 12528452 |
