ZooKeys, 2017 The taxonomy of American deer has been established almost entirely on the basis of morphological data and without the use of explicit phylogenetic methods; hence, phylogenetic analyses including data for all of the currently recognized species, even if ...

Canine detection of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in laboratory and field settings
Prion, 2023 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects both free-ranging and farmed cervid species, including mule deer, white-tailed deer, and elk (Odocoileus hemionus, Odocoileus virginianus, and Cervus canadensis)

Association mapping of genetic risk factors for chronic wasting disease in wild deer
Evolutionary Applications, 2013 Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting North American cervids. We assessed the feasibility of association mapping CWD genetic risk factors in wild white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule ...

EXPERIMENTAL FASCIOLOIDES MAGNA INFECTIONS OF MULE DEER (ODOCOILEUS HEMIONUS HEMIONUS) [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1992 Six mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and one white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), approximately 5-mo-old, each were inoculated orally with 500 metacercariae of Fascioloides magna. All mule deer died from liver fluke infection between 69 and 134 days (mean = 114, SE = 9.9) after inoculation. Between 38 and 326 immature F.

Environmental Sources of Prion Transmission in Mule Deer
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Whether transmission of the chronic wasting disease (CWD) prion among cervids requires direct interaction with infected animals has been unclear. We report that CWD can be transmitted to susceptible animals indirectly, from environments contaminated by ...

Selection and demography drive range-wide patterns of MHC-DRB variation in mule deer
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background Standing genetic variation is important especially in immune response-related genes because of threats to wild populations like the emergence of novel pathogens. Genetic variation at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which is crucial

To jump or not to jump: Mule deer and white‐tailed deer fence crossing decisions
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Modified fencing structures have been recommended with the intention of enhancing ungulate movement. Ungulates such as mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white‐tailed deer (O. virginianus) typically negotiate fences by jumping over them.

Evaluating Responses by Sympatric Ungulates to Fence Modifications Across the Northern Great Plains
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2020 Across North America, incentive programs have assisted landholders with the construction of fences, often considered “wildlife friendly,” to assist in grazing management, which has resulted in a proliferation of fencing on the landscape.
