The interaction of Sika deer (Cervus nippon Temminck 1838) with lowland heath mosaics. [PDF]

Sika deer (Cervus nippon) has become an invasive species in many parts of the world. In the south of England large populations appear to be concentrated in landscapes comprising of mosaics of lowland heath, woodlands and grassland.

Diagnosis of Acute Deer Tick Virus Encephalitis [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2012
Deer tick virus (DTV) is a tick-borne flavivirus that has only recently been appreciated as a cause of viral encephalitis. We describe the clinical presentation of a patient who had DTV encephalitis diagnosed before death and survived for 8 months despite severe neurologic dysfunction.Diagnosis was made from a cerebrospinal fluid specimen, using a ...

Detection of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), United Kingdom

Pathogens, 2021
Deer represent a major vertebrate host for all feeding stages of the hard tick Ixodes ricinus in the United Kingdom (UK), and could play a role in the persistence of tick-borne pathogens.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in Ticks and Roe Deer, the Netherlands

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We report the presence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in the Netherlands. Serologic screening of roe deer found TBEV-neutralizing antibodies with a seroprevalence of 2%, and TBEV RNA was detected in 2 ticks from the same location. Enhanced surveillance and awareness among medical professionals has led to the identification of autochthonous ...

Identifying Environmental Risk Factors for Louping Ill Virus Seroprevalence in Sheep and the Potential to Inform Wildlife Management Policy

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Identifying the risk factors for disease is crucial for developing policy and strategies for controlling exposure to pathogens. However, this is often challenging, especially in complex disease systems, such as vector-borne diseases with multiple hosts ...

Sex-biased differences in the effects of host individual, host population and environmental traits driving tick parasitism in red deer

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
The interactions between host individual, host population, and environmental factors modulate parasite abundance in a given host population. Since adult exophilic ticks are highly aggregated in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and this ungulate exhibits ...

Powassan/Deer Tick Virus and Borrelia Burgdorferi Infection in Wisconsin Tick Populations [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2017
Powassan/Deer Tick Virus (POWV/DTV) is an emerging cause of arboviral neuroinvasive disease in the upper Midwest. These studies describe the prevalence and geographic distribution of Wisconsin ticks carrying POWV/DTV as well as the high frequency of Ixodes scapularis ticks coinfected with ...

Effects of ticks on community assemblages of ectoparasites in deer mice

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Ectoparasites are fundamental to ecosystems, playing a key role in trophic regulation. Fleas, mites, and ticks are common hematophagous ectoparasites that infest shared mammalian hosts. One common host in Ontario, Canada, is the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus).
