Deer tick masquerading as pigmented conjunctival lesion [PDF]
American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2017 Purpose: Conjunctival adherence of a tick is an uncommon event with few reports previously cited in the literature. We report a unique case of tick penetration, specifically a black-legged deer tick (Ixodes scapularis), into the conjunctiva. Observations:

Phylodynamics of deer tick virus in North America. [PDF]
Virus Evol, 2023 AbstractThe burden of ticks and the pathogens they carry is increasing worldwide. Powassan virus (POWV; Flaviviridae: Flavivirus), the only known North American tick-borne flavivirus, is of particular concern due to rising cases and the severe morbidity of POWV encephalitis.

Fatal Deer Tick Virus Infection in Maine [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017 Deer tick virus (DTV), a genetic variant (lineage II) of Powassan virus, is a rare cause of encephalitis in North America. We report a fatal case of DTV encephalitis following a documented bite from an Ixodes scapularis tick and the erythema migrans rash associated with Lyme disease.

LOCALIZED DEER ABSENCE LEADS TO TICK AMPLIFICATION [PDF]
Ecology, 2006 Deer support high tick intensities, perpetuating tick populations, but they do not support tick-borne pathogen transmission, so are dilution hosts. We test the hypothesis that absence of deer (loss of a dilution host) will result in either an increase or a reduction in tick density, and that the outcome is scale dependent.

Tick-Borne Pathogens in Wild Cervids from Poland: A Molecular Survey on Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Piroplasms [PDF]
AnimalsTick-borne diseases (TBDs) are important infections affecting animal health, and some are zoonotic. Understanding the distribution of TBDs in wildlife is important to evaluate the role of wild animals in the maintenance and spread of tick-borne pathogens

First screening for tick-borne pathogens in Chinese Milu deer (Elaphurus davidianus)
Ticks and Tick-borne DiseasesTicks are primary vectors for many tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) and pose a serious threat to veterinary and public health. Information on the presence of TBPs in Chinese Milu deer (Elaphurus davidianus) is limited.

Molecular detection of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) and their parasitic Amblyomma triste ticks in Argentina suggests a local transmission cycle [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Since the first finding of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in the Argentinian marsh deer populations in 2018, we have conducted ongoing surveillance efforts to better understand the ecological and epidemiological dynamics of this zoonotic tick-borne ...

Ehrlichia chaffeensis infection in the reservoir host (white-tailed deer) and in an incidental host (dog) is impacted by its prior growth in macrophage and tick cell environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ehrlichia chaffeensis, transmitted from Amblyomma americanum ticks, causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. It also infects white-tailed deer, dogs and several other vertebrates. Deer are its reservoir hosts, while humans and dogs are incidental hosts.
