چکیده
Metacestodes (cysticerci) of Taenia omissa Lühe, 1910, and Taenia hydatigena Pallas, 1776, were found in 9 and 1 of 124 white-tailed deer, respectively, in southern Florida in 1984-1986. Intensities of T. omissa varied from 1 to 15 (mean = 4.6); only 1 cysticercus of T. hydatigena was collected. No significant difference in the prevalences of T. omissa according to sex, age, or locality was observed.

White-Tailed Deer of Florida1
Background The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is the most economically important big game mammal in North America and Florida. In 2011, over $50 billion was spent on deer hunting in the United States. Florida deer are also a major prey species for the endangered Florida panther (Felis concolour). As a consequence, deer have been the object of much management, research, and controversy.
متن کاملBartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii has not been detected previously in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We tested whole blood from 60 white-tailed deer for Bartonella spp. DNA; three (5%) were positive for Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii. This is the first detection of Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii in white-tailed deer.

From 1907 when the fever tick eradication campaign began until 1933, the tick eradication methods of dipping cattle in an acaricide or "pasture vacation" were enormously successful in eradicating southern cattle ticks [Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini)], until failures began to occur in some areas of Florida. Regarding the failures in Florida, the consensus was that populations o...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Spatially Targeted Field Sampling Technique for the Southern Cattle Tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, by Mapping Whitetailed Deer, Odocoileus virginianus, Habitat in South Texas
The objective of our study was to determine whether satellite remote sensed data could be used to identify white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmerman) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae), habitat and target locations for sampling free-living larvae of the southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini) (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in South Texas. Two methods for mapping white-taile...
متن کاملEvaluating Transmission of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus to Cattle by Exposure to Carcasses of Persistently Infected White- tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
Infections with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) clinically analogous to cattle are described in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), but the epidemiologic role of persistently infected (PI) white-tailed deer is unknown. Persistently infected white-tailed deer shed BVDV, maintaining BVDV in groups of deer. Survival of PI white-tailed deer is reduced, and clinically ill or dead PI deer ...
