Cryopreservation of adult cervid testes

Cryobiology, 2017
Several species of cervids are currently classified as threatened or endangered due to a rapid decline in their populations. Sperm cryopreservation, in association with assisted reproductive technologies, can find application for the conservation of endangered cervids.

Chronic Wasting Disease of Cervids

2004
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has recently emerged in North America as an important prion disease of captive and free-ranging cervids (species in the deer family). CWD is the only recognized transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) affecting free-ranging species.

Cervid herpesvirus 2 infection in reindeer: A review

Veterinary Microbiology, 2010
Herpesviruses of the genus Varicellovirus are known to infect and cause disease in a variety of ruminant species, but the impact of cervid herpesvirus 2 (CvHV2) in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) is mostly unknown. Reindeer is a circum-polar species with a total estimated number of more than 5 million animals.

Helminth fauna of cervids in Belorussian Polesie

Parasitology Research, 2002
We report on the examination of 18 elk ( Alces alces), 16 red deer (Cervus elaphus)and 16 roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus) from the Belorussian Polesie in the period 1981-1998 for helminths. A total of 18 helminth species were found including Dictyocaulus eckerti, Fasciola hepatica, Oesophagostomum venulosum, Taenia hydatigena larvae and Trichuris ovis,

FURTHER EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF PNEUMOSTRONGYLUS TENUIS IN CERVIDS

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1966
Two young wapiti (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) and a female mule deer fawn (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) were infected experimentally with Pneumostrongylus tenuis from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis). The male wapiti showed only slight clinical signs after infection, and first-stage larvae appeared in its faeces 92 days later.

The evolution of the cervid skull

2021
Cervidae (deer) forms a large family of cud-chewing, even-toed mammals (Artiodactyla: Ruminantia). It is closely related to Moschidae (musk deer), Bovidae (cattle, goats, sheep and antelopes), Giraffidae (giraffes), and Antilocapridae (American pronghorns); Tragulidae (mouse-deer and chevrotains) com-prises somewhat more distant relatives.

Sequence characteristics of a cervid DNA repeat family

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1995
The (G + C) distribution and the presence and amounts of repetitive sequence families in the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) have been examined. The distribution ranges from 20 to 70% (G+C) and shows four distinct repeat families. A 0.7-kb family, DII, corresponds to satellite II in domestic bovids--ox, sheep, and goat--and was singled out ...

Chronic wasting disease of cervids

Small Ruminant Research, 2015
Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD) of cervids is the only known transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) found in non-domestic, free-ranging animals. To date, it is found in wild cervids only in North America, and natural infection has been detected in only four species (Cervus elaphus nelsoni, Odocoileus hemionus, Odocoileus virginianus and

Predation shapes the evolutionary traits of cervid weapons

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018
Sexually selected weapons evolved to maximize the individual reproductive success of males in many polygynous breeding species. Many weapons are also retained outside of reproductive periods for secondary reasons, but the importance of these secondary functions is poorly understood.

Serosurveillance of orbiviruses in wild cervids from Spain

Veterinary Record, 2013
EPIZOOTIC haemorrhagic disease (EHD) and bluetongue are caused by viruses belonging to the genus Orbivirus , family Reoviridae. To date, eight and 26 distinct serotypes of EHD virus (EHDV) and bluetongue virus (BTV) have been identified, respectively.
