| prevalence of eastern equine encephalitis virus antibodies among white-tailed deer populations in maine. | during the fall of 2010, 332 deer serum samples were collected from 15 of the 16 (93.8%) maine counties and screened for eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev) antibodies using plaque reduction neutralizing tests (prnts). the aim was to detect and map eeev activity in the state of maine. forty-seven of the 332 (14.2%) sera were positive for eeev antibodies, showing a much wider distribution of eeev activity in maine than previously known. the percentage of eeev antibody-positive deer sera was ... | 2015 | 25793477 |
| whole genome sequence analysis of circulating bluetongue virus serotype 11 strains from the united states including two domestic canine isolates. | bluetongue virus (btv) is a vector-transmitted pathogen that typically infects and causes disease in domestic and wild ruminants. btv is also known to infect domestic canines as discovered when dogs were vaccinated with a btv-contaminated vaccine. canine btv infections have been documented through serological surveys, and natural infection by the culicoides vector has been suggested. the report of isolation of btv serotype 11 (btv-11) from 2 separate domestic canine abortion cases in the states ... | 2015 | 26069226 |
| muscleworms, parelaphostrongylus andersoni (nematoda: protostrongylidae), discovered in columbia white-tailed deer from oregon and washington: implications for biogeography and host associations. | parelaphostrongylus andersoni is considered a characteristic nematode infecting white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). host and geographic distribution for this parasite, however, remain poorly defined in the region of western north america. fecal samples collected from columbia white-tailed deer (o. v. leucurus) in a restricted range endemic to oregon and washington, usa, were examined for dorsal-spined larvae characteristic of many protostrongylid nematodes. multilocus dna sequence data ( ... | 2008 | 18263818 |
| isolation and characterization of epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus from white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in eastern washington. | a virus was isolated from the spleen of a white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) that had died during an epizootic in washington state in 1967. inoculation of a 10% spleen suspension from the deer caused hemorrhagic disease in normal white-tailed deer. studies were conducted on the biological, physicochemical, and serologic properties of the washington isolate. an in vitro assay system, utilizing a cultured primary of white-tailed deer fetal cells from an entire fetus, was employed for isola ... | 1977 | 192110 |
