failure to detect infection in fallow deer (cervus dama) exposed to theileria cervi from white-tailed deer.a frozen stabilate was produced from theileria cervi sporozoites in salivary glands of adult amblyomma americanum. the stabilate was inoculated into three fallow deer (cervus dama) and two white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). following inoculation, the white-tailed deer developed parasitemias as determined by blood smear examination at 11 and 13 days postexposure. repeat examination of blood from the three fallow deer for 30 days postexposure failed to reveal observable piro-plasms. these ...19873119873
rearing performance of farmed fallow deer (dama dama).the ability of fallow does to rear fawns to weaning age was examined in a group of 243 adult does of known age (group 1) and 509 adult does of unknown age (group 2). all does had between 1 and 8 opportunities to rear fawns. there was an increasing proportion of does that failed to rear a fawn to weaning age as the number of rearing opportunities increased, although most does (93.6%) only failed on one occasion. a small percentage of does in groups 1 and 2 failed repeatedly to rear fawns to weani ...19902076070
tumor-like growth of antlers in castrated fallow deer: an electron microscopic study.male deer regenerate new sets of antlers each year. when fully grown, rising levels of testosterone promote antler ossification, cutting off the blood flow and causing the velvet integument to be shed. after the mating season, the old antlers fall off to be replaced by new ones. when the adult fallow deer is castrated in autumn or winter, its bony antlers are shed and replaced by usually shorter regenerates that remain permanently viable and in velvet. if prevented from winter freezing, these an ...19902080434
an outbreak of meningo-encephalitis in fallow deer caused by listeria monocytogenes.an outbreak of listeric meningo-encephalitis occurred in a population of 1800 fallow deer (dama dama) in a park during the winter and early spring of 1985 to 1986. listeriosis was diagnosed in 41 of 42 fallow deer that showed the typical central nervous system signs of circling disease or were found dead. the diagnosis was verified by bacteriological examination of the brains of 35 animals. in five of the seven remaining cases listeriosis was diagnosed by histological examination, and in one ani ...19883131946
major lymph nodes of the head of the fallow deer (dama dama) and lymphatic drainage of antlers.heads from 10 fallow deer bucks were examined to provide a description of the major lymph nodes in this region. the distribution and size of these nodes were similar to those of sheep and goats. to determine whether there was drainage of lymph from the skin of antlers, and to follow the route of this drainage, a solution containing evans blue was injected intradermally into the antlers of 2 bucks whilst the animals were anaesthetised. dye appeared in tracheal lymph ducts 14 to 30 min after injec ...19902085295
standard karyotype and chromosomal evolution of the fallow deer (dama dama l.).g-banding, c-banding and silver staining techniques were used to study the chromosomes of the fallow deer dama dama (2n = 68, nf = 70). on the basis of g-banded metaphases a diagrammatic representation of banding patterns at the 350 band level is proposed. c-banding reveals constitutive heterochromatin in the centromeric regions of all the acrocentric chromosomes. faint c-banding is present in the centromere of the y chromosome, while the single pair of metacentrics are c-band negative. the nucl ...19902090390
[the sertoli cell nucleolus in domestic and wild animals].sertoli cells produce special microenvironment for developing germ cells; therefore it is assumed that they play primary role in the onset and control of spermatogenesis. in this connection we extended our previous study on the ultrastructure of sertoli cells in different domestic and wild animals with special regard to nucleolus. sertoli cells of domestic and wild ruminants possess the typical vesicular nucleolus except for fallow deer, in this species no vesicular nucleolus occurs in sertoli c ...19902102585
polymorphism and genetic control of erythrocyte 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the genus cervus.a study of 11 enzyme systems in blood samples of cervus dama, c. elaphus, c. nippon and hybrids c. elaphus x nippon has revealed an erythrocyte 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase polymorphism in the hybrid populations. genetic analysis suggests that this enzyme is controlled by one gene locus with two codominant alleles, one specific for pure japanese sika deer, the other for pure red deer as well as for fallow deer, while both alleles have been found in the red x sika hybrids.19883207221
