Deer ked-induced occupational allergic rhinoconjunctivitis

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2005
Deer keds (elk fly) have not previously been described as a cause of respiratory or conjunctival sensitization.To report a case of IgE-mediated allergic rhinoconjunctivitis from occupational exposure to deer ked.Skin prick testing (SPT) was performed with pollens, animal danders, mites, molds, and deer ked.

Infections with Bartonella spp. in free-ranging cervids and deer keds (Lipoptena cervi) in Norway

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2018
Bartonella bacteria are arthropod-borne and can cause long-term bacteremia in humans and animals. The predominant arthropod vectors and the mode of transmission for many novel Bartonella species remain elusive or essentially unstudied. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Bartonella spp.

Hair Cortisol Concentration and Body Mass in Moose (Alces alces) Infested with Deer Keds (Lipoptena cervi) [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2020
The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), a hematophagous ectoparasite of cervids, is currently spreading in Scandinavia, and the moose (Alces alces) is its main host. However, little is known about the impact of deer keds on moose. We analyzed the hair cortisol concentration (HCC) from 262 moose harvested in the fall in relation to age class, sex, body mass (BM)

Deer Ked Infestation on White-Tailed Deer in East Texas

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1973
A study on the infestation of parasitic deer keds ( Diptera-Hippoboscidae ) on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was conducted in East Texas. Deer keds, identified as Lipoptena mazamae, were collected in 17 out of 17 counties sampled. Known distribution was increased by 16 counties. Infestation on 20 dead deer in November varied from 10 to 196,

Evaluating the vector potential of deer keds Lipoptena fortisetosa for selected pathogens in Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis)

Parasitology International
Deer keds (Lipoptena fortisetosa) are hematophagous insects that parasitize various ungulates, including Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis). Although deer keds are potential vectors for several pathogens, their role in disease transmission in Japan remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of L.

Fennoscandian distribution of an important parasite of cervids, the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), revisited

Parasitology Research, 2010
The deer ked [Lipoptena cervi (L. 1758) (Dipt., Hippoboscidae)] is a blood-sucking ectoparasite of cervids. The species has been resident in Sweden for more than two centuries, whereas in Finland ( approximately 50 years) and Norway ( approximately 30 years), it has established itself relatively recently. L.

Comparative morphology of the deer ked Lipoptena fortisetosa first recorded from Italy

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2018
Abstract Hippoboscidae flies parasitize various animal species. Knowledge about these insects remains sparse, although they are known to cause stress and damage to their hosts, and can also accidentally infest humans, causing different sanitary risks.

Deer ked: a Lyme-carrying ectoparasite on the move.

Cutis, 2019
Lipoptena cervi, known as the deer ked, is an ectoparasite of cervids traditionally found in northern European countries such as Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Although rarely reported in the United States, this vector recently has been shown to carry Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophylum from specimens collected domestically.

The effects of an abundant ectoparasite, the deer ked (Lipoptena cervi), on the health of moose (Alces alces) in Finland

Parasitology Research, 2012
The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi, Diptera, Hippoboscidae) is a haematophagous parasitic fly of the moose (Alces alces) and other cervids, and it is very common in southern and central parts of Finland. The aim of this study was to determine how the intensive parasitism caused by the deer ked affects the health and welfare of the moose. Moose blood samples
