Diagnosis of acute deer tick virus encephalitis. [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2013 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 ...

Prevalence and distribution of Powassan/deer tick virus in Pennsylvania
International Journal of Acarology, 2021 Powassan/deer tick virus (POWV/DTV), a tick-borne flavivirus, is emerging in the United States. However, little work has assessed spatial distribution and infection prevalence and density of infected vector ticks in Pennsylvania (PA).

TICK INFESTATIONS OF WHITE-TAILED DEER IN ALABAMA [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1991 Four species of ticks were collected from 537 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), examined during the hunting seasons (November to January) of 1988-89 and 1989-90 at selected locations in Alabama (USA). Ixodes scapularis was the most common tick recovered (2,060 specimens) and infested 54% of the deer. Dermacentor albipictus was the second most

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.

Fatal case of deer tick virus encephalitis. [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 Deer tick virus is related to Powassan virus, a tickborne encephalitis virus. A 62-year-old man presented with a meningoencephalitis syndrome and eventually died. Analyses of tissue samples obtained during surgery and at autopsy revealed a widespread necrotizing meningoencephalitis.

Correlation of TBE incidence with red deer and roe deer abundance in Slovenia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a virus infection which sometimes causes human disease. The TBE virus is found in ticks and certain vertebrate tick hosts in restricted endemic localities termed TBE foci. The formation of natural foci is a combination of

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.

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Several ungulate species are feeding and propagation hosts for the tick Ixodes ricinus as well as hosts to a wide range of zoonotic pathogens. Here, we focus on Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.), two important pathogens
