| parasites, diseases, and health status of sympatric populations of fallow deer and white-tailed deer in kentucky. | in august 1983, a study on parasites, diseases, and health status was conducted on sympatric populations of fallow deer (dama dama) and white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) from land between the lakes, lyon and trigg counties, kentucky. five adult deer of each species were studied. white-tailed deer had antibodies to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (ehd) virus and leptospira interogans serovariety icterohemorrhagiae, and fallow deer had antibodies to bluetongue and ehd viruses. serologic tes ... | 1985 | 3999248 |
| serological survey for potential disease agents of free-ranging cervids in six selected national parks from germany. | a total of 164 blood samples, collected from free-ranging red deer (cervus elaphus), roe deer (capreolus capreolus) and fallow deer (dama dama) in six german national parks (np) between 2000 and 2002, were assayed for antibodies against nine viral disease agents. antibodies were only detected against the alpha-herpesviruses; specifically, bovine herpesvirus-1 (bhv-1) (22 of 157, 14%), cervid herpesvirus-1 (17 of 157, 10.8%), and caprine herpesvirus-1 (11 of 159, 6.9%). titers ranged from 4 to 10 ... | 2006 | 17255452 |
| spatial and temporal evolution of bluetongue virus in wild ruminants, spain. | we confirmed the emergence of bluetongue virus (btv) in 5 wild ruminant species in spain. btv seroprevalence was high and dispersed with time, with a south-to-north gradient. our results suggest a complex epidemiology of btv and underline the need for additional research on wildlife in europe. | 2008 | 18507912 |
| seroprevalence of antibodies against bluetongue virus in animals imported to poland from eu countries. | the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of btv-specific antibodies in animals imported to poland from eu countries after 15 june 2006. from 1 january 2007 to 22 january 2008, a total of 10719 samples of sera collected from cattle, goats and fallow deer were tested. sera were screened using the highly sensitive and specific c-elisa test and positive results were confirmed by the agid assay. out of 10719 sera, 30 (0.28% of the total number of samples) were found to be positive in ... | 2008 | 18942541 |
| population health of fallow deer (dama dama) on little st. simons island, georgia, usa. | fallow deer (dama dama) were introduced to little st. simons island, georgia, usa in the 1920s and thrive at high population densities, to the exclusion of white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginina). the presence of introduced pathogens and parasites as a result of their introduction is currently unknown, as is the impact of native disease on the exotic fallow deer. hunter-killed fallow deer from 2003-2005 were necropsied and surveyed for evidence of infectious disease, parasitic agents, and toxic ... | 2009 | 19395750 |
| monitoring studies of bluetongue disease in ruminants imported to poland from eu. | the results of 4-year serological and 2-year virological monitoring studies of bluetongue (bt) disease in ruminants imported to poland from eu countries are presented. sera were screened using the c-elisa and direct elisa tests. out of 49587 samples of sea, 3385 (6.83% of a total number of samples) were found to be positive for bluetongue virus (btv). the majority of seropositive animals were imported to poland from germany, czech republic and the netherlands. the high number of positive animals ... | 2010 | 20731189 |
| role of wild ruminants in the epidemiology of bluetongue virus serotypes 1, 4 and 8 in spain. | abstract: although the importance of wild ruminants as potential reservoirs of bluetongue virus (btv) has been suggested, the role played by these species in the epidemiology of bt in europe is still unclear. we carried out a serologic and virologic survey to assess the role of wild ruminants in the transmission and maintenance of btv in andalusia (southern spain) between 2006 and 2010. a total of 473 out of 1339 (35.3%) wild ruminants analyzed showed antibodies against btv by both elisa and ser ... | 2011 | 21781340 |
| a survey of free-ranging deer in ireland for serological evidence of exposure to bovine viral diarrhoea virus, bovine herpes virus-1, bluetongue virus and schmallenberg virus. | deer are an important wildlife species in both the republic of ireland and northern ireland having colonised most regions across the island of ireland. in comparison to cattle and sheep which represent the main farmed ruminant species on the island, there is a lack of data concerning their exposure, as measured by the presence of antibodies, to important viral pathogens of ruminants. a study was therefore undertaken to investigate the seroprevalence of wild deer to four viruses, namely bovine vi ... | 2017 | 28503294 |
| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
| global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
| host use patterns of culicoides spp. biting midges at a big game preserve in florida, u.s.a., and implications for the transmission of orbiviruses. | culicoides spp. biting midges (diptera: ceratopogonidae) are vectors of pathogens that have a significant economic impact on the livestock industry. white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), a farmed species in the u.s.a., are susceptible to two culicoides spp. borne orbiviruses: bluetongue virus and epizootic haemorrhagic disease virus. elucidating host-vector interactions is an integral step in studying disease transmission. this study investigated the host range of culicoides spp. present o ... | 2019 | 30063255 |
| long-term determinants of the seroprevalence of the bluetongue virus in deer species in southern spain. | bluetongue is a vector-borne disease affecting domestic and wild ruminants, with a major socioeconomic impact. endemic circulation of the bluetongue virus serotype 4 (btv-4) and btv-1 have occurred in spain since 2004 and 2007, respectively. however, epidemiological studies have seldom been approached from a long-term perspective in wild ruminants. a total of 881 deer (red deer and fallow deer) were necropsied from 2005 to 2018 as part of the dnp health-monitoring program. serum samples were tes ... | 2021 | 34280654 |
