Milk containing Mycobacterium bovis as a source of infection for white-tailed deer fawns (Odocoileus virginianus).
SETTING White-tailed deer represent the first wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis in the United States.

متن کاملNovel hemotropic Mycoplasma species in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
Globally, hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. are emerging or re-emerging zoonotic pathogens that affect livestock, wildlife, companion animals, and humans, potentially causing serious and economically important disease problems. Little is known about hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. prevalence, host-specificity, or route of transmission in most species, including wildlife. DNA amplification by PCR targeting ...
متن کاملEffects of fluoride ingestion on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
The effects of the addition of 25 or 50 ppm fluoride (F), as sodium fluoride (NaF), to the rations of 5-mo-old male white-tailed deer were similar to those observed in domestic cattle fed similar amounts of fluoride. The ingestion of 50 ppm F for 2 yr resulted in the accumulation of over 7,000 ppm F in bone ash. Accumulation of fluoride in antlers was extensive and occurred more rapidly than in...
