| necropsy and laboratory findings in free-living deer in south dakota. | in a diagnostic survey of diseases in wild white-tailed deer (62 cases) and mule deer (12 cases) the most common findings were traumatic injury (20%), nontraumatic hemorrhage (13%), polioencephalomalacia (11%), and bacterial infections (9%). although epizootic hemorrhagic disease was suspected in several cases, the virus was isolated from only 1 white-tailed deer. | 1976 | 185186 |
| sarcocystis of deer in south dakota. | the prevalence of sarcocystis in white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (o. hemionus) in south dakota was determined through microscopic examination of tongue samples. the percentage of sarcocystis infection for both species of deer was determined for prairies east of the missouri river, west of the missouri river, and black hills of western south dakota. sixteen percent (n = 62) of the white-tailed deer tongues from east river, 69% (n = 42) from west river, and 74% (n = 23) fr ... | 1982 | 6808161 |
| distribution of meningeal worm (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) in south dakota. | heads of hunter-harvested deer (odocoileus sp.) and elk (cervus elaphus) were collected from meat processing plants throughout south dakota (usa) from 1997 through 1999 to determine distribution of meningeal worm (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) in eastern and western south dakota. a total of 2,848 white-tailed deer (wtd) were examined for p. tenuis, of which 578 (20.3%) were infected with the parasite. of 578 deer infected, 570 (98.6%) were harvested east of the missouri river. our results indicate ... | 2004 | 15137501 |
| tonsillar biopsy test for chronic wasting disease: two sampling approaches in mule deer and white-tailed deer. | preclinical antemortem testing of deer (odocoileus spp.) for chronic wasting disease (cwd) can be important for determining prevalence rates and removing infected individuals from wild populations. because samples with high numbers of tonsillar follicles are likely to provide earlier detection of cwd than samples with fewer follicles, the method of obtaining follicular samples may be critical when investigating disease prevalence. between january 2003 and january 2005, white-tailed deer (o. virg ... | 2005 | 16456177 |
| bovine viral diarrhea virus multiorgan infection in two white-tailed deer in southeastern south dakota. | the susceptibility of wild ruminants, especially cervids, to bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) has remained an enigma. two white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) were submitted to the animal disease research and diagnostic laboratory (adrdl) in the fall of 2003 by the south dakota game fish and parks for chronic wasting disease (cwd) testing. both animals were cwd negative. the animals were necropsied and histopathology, viral antigen detection, and virus isolation were performed. a noncyto ... | 2008 | 18689667 |
| new records of hair follicle mites (demodecidae) from north american cervidae. | individuals of three species of cervids, with varying degrees of alopecia, were examined for ectoparasites: rocky mountain elk (cervus elaphus nelsoni) and mule deer (odocoileus hemionus hemionus) in colorado and white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) in south dakota. hair follicle mites were recovered and identified as demodex kutzeri, a species originally described from the european red deer (cervus elaphus, from austria) and the sika deer (cervus nippon pseudaxis, captive in germany). the ... | 2010 | 20688655 |
| influence of ecologic factors on prevalence of meningeal worm (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) infection in south dakota, usa. | the meningeal worm (parelaphostrongylus tenuis) is a nematode parasite that commonly infects white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus; wtd) throughout the deciduous forest biome and deciduous-coniferous ecotone of eastern and central north america; the species is not known to occur west of the grassland biome of central north america. we used county-specific prevalence data to evaluate potential effects of landscape and climatologic factors on the spatial distribution of meningeal worm infectio ... | 2015 | 25588013 |
| 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 ... | 2014 | 25264612 |
| 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 |
| associations among habitat characteristics and meningeal worm prevalence in eastern south dakota, usa. | few studies have evaluated how wetland and forest characteristics influence the prevalence of meningeal worm ( parelaphostrongylus tenuis ) infection of deer throughout the grassland biome of central north america. we used previously collected, county-level prevalence data to evaluate associations between habitat characteristics and probability of meningeal worm infection in white-tailed deer ( odocoileus virginianus ) across eastern south dakota, us. the highest-ranked binomial regression model ... | 2017 | 27690195 |
| prevalence of chronic wasting disease and bovine tuberculosis in free-ranging deer and elk in south dakota. | heads of hunter-harvested deer and elk were collected throughout south dakota (usa) and within established chronic wasting disease (cwd) surveillance areas from 1997-2002 to determine infection with cwd and bovine tuberculosis (tb). we used immunohistochemistry to detect cwd-infected individuals among 1,672 deer and elk sampled via geographically targeted surveillance. a total of 537 elk (cervus elaphus nelsoni), 813 white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), and 322 mule deer (o. hemionus) was ... | 2003 | 12685066 |
| hepatic minerals of white-tailed and mule deer in the southern black hills, south dakota. | because there is a paucity of information on the mineral requirements of free-ranging deer, data are needed from clinically healthy deer to provide a basis for the diagnosis of mineral deficiencies. to our knowledge, no reports are available on baseline hepatic mineral concentrations from sympatric white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (odocoileus hemionus) using different habitats in the northern great plains. we assessed variation in hepatic minerals of female white-tailed d ... | 2008 | 18436666 |
| congenital hypotrichosis in a white-tailed deer fawn from south dakota. | on 1 october 2001, a 4-mo-old male white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) fawn was collected in day county, south dakota (usa), by south dakota department of game, fish and parks personnel. the fawn had sparse hair development on the ventral thorax, the lateral caudal and caudal aspects of the rear legs, the muzzle, around the eyes, and inside the ears. remaining skin surfaces were devoid of hair. histologic examination revealed normal hair follicle density although follicles were empty or c ... | 2004 | 15137504 |
