Patterns of deer ked (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) and tick (Ixodida: Ixodidae) infestation on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in the eastern United States

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) host numerous ectoparasitic species in the eastern USA, most notably various species of ticks and two species of deer keds. Several pathogens transmitted by ticks to humans and other animal hosts have

Attachment site selection of ticks on roe deer, Capreolus capreolus [PDF]

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2010
The spatio-temporal attachment site patterns of ticks feeding on their hosts can be of significance if co-feeding transmission (i.e. from tick to tick without a systemic infection of the host) of pathogens affects the persistence of a given disease.

Roe deer as sentinels for endemicity of tick-borne encephalitis virus [PDF]

Epidemiology and Infection, 1995
SummaryThe suitability of serological surveys of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in determining the spread of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) was tested in a south German area with a low risk of TBEV infection to humans. Sera obtained from 192 hunted roe were screened by an haemagglutination–inhibition test (HAI) and in an ELISA developed in our ...

A decade under lens: Characterizing wildlife mortality from disease and infection in Chitwan National Park, Nepal

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mortality and health issues are becoming an emerging issue in the conservation and management of wildlife populations. Understanding the causes of mortality is necessary for proper management of wildlife and habitats. To address this, a mixed approach was employed: we conducted a longitudinal analysis of a decade (2010–2019) of observed ...
