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.

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.

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.

Experimental SARS-CoV-2 Infection of Elk and Mule Deer
Emerging Infectious DiseasesTo assess the susceptibility of elk (Cervus canadensis) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) to SARS-CoV-2, we performed experimental infections in both species. Elk did not shed infectious virus but mounted low-level serologic responses.

Bayesian Modeling of Prion Disease Dynamics in Mule Deer Using Population Monitoring and Capture-Recapture Data. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Epidemics of chronic wasting disease (CWD) of North American Cervidae have potential to harm ecosystems and economies. We studied a migratory population of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) affected by CWD for at least three decades using a Bayesian ...

Migrating mule deer compensate en route for phenological mismatches
Nature Communications, 2023 Billions of animals migrate to track seasonal pulses in resources. Optimally timing migration is a key strategy, yet the ability of animals to compensate for phenological mismatches en route is largely unknown.
