An Infectious Cutaneous Fibroma of the Virginia White-tailed Deer (odocoileus Virginianus)
نویسندگان
چکیده
A naturally occurring cutaneous fibroma of deer has proven to be experimentally transmissible in deer. The causative agent is a virus that is readily alterable through Berkefeld N candles and that survives in fibroma tissue for at least as long as 27 months in glycerol-saline at -20 degrees C. The experimentally produced deer fibroma has an incubation period of about 7 weeks, a very slow rate of growth, and a high regression rate.

In September of 1952 an adult female Virginia white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was brought to the laboratory for examination. She had been shot by a game warden in Somerset County, New Jersey, because she had been observed to have numerous masses scattered over her body, as shown in Fig. 1. These were especially plentiful over her head and neck and those about her eyes and over her ey...
متن کاملIsolation of Neospora caninum from naturally infected white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
Attempts were made to isolate Neospora caninum from naturally infected white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). A total of 110 deer killed during the 2003 hunting season in Virginia region were used for the isolation of N. caninum. Of these, brains from 28 deer that had NAT titer of 1:200 were inoculated into interferon-gamma gene knock out (KO) mice. N. caninum was isolated from the tissues...
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.
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 کاملTransmission of bovine viral diarrhea virus among white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
Cattle persistently infected (PI) with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a pestivirus in the family Flaviviridae, are an important source of viral transmission to susceptible hosts. Persistent BVDV infections have been identified in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), the most abundant free-ranging ruminant in North America. As PI deer shed BVDV similarly to PI cattle, maintenance of ...
