Transmission of Raccoon-Passaged Chronic Wasting Disease Agent to White-Tailed Deer

Viruses, 2022
The transmission characteristics of prion diseases are influenced by host prion protein sequence and, therefore, the host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a prion disease of cervids, has widespread geographical distribution throughout North ...

Deer management generally reduces densities of nymphal Ixodes scapularis, but not prevalence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Human Lyme disease–primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) in North America–is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.

Population genomics of free‐ranging Great Plains white‐tailed and mule deer reflects a long history of interspecific hybridization

Evolutionary Applications, 2022
Hybridization is a natural process at species‐range boundaries that may variably promote the speciation process or break down species barriers but minimally will influence management outcomes of distinct populations.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Farmed White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Florida

EDIS, 2022
White-tailed deer are susceptible to infection by numerous gastrointestinal parasites. Not all parasite infections cause clinical disease, but even subclinical gastrointestinal parasitism may reduce the health and productivity of infected deer.

White-Tailed Deer

, 2023
Abstract White-tailed deer are geographically widespread and occupy a variety of ecosystems from semi-desert shrubland and grasslands to forests. They have a relatively high reproductive potential but recruitment may be limited in semiarid rangelands where annual variation in precipitation is high.

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

Accelerated evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in free-ranging white-tailed deer

Nature Communications, 2023
The zoonotic origin of the COVID-19 pandemic virus highlights the need to fill the vast gaps in our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 ecology and evolution in non-human hosts. Here, we detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more

Genetic variability in white-tailed deer [PDF]

Heredity, 1988
Genetic variability at 36 loci was studied in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations, on the Savannah River Plant (SRP) in South Carolina. Mean multilocus heterozygosity (H), percentage of polymorphic loci (P) and average number of alleles per locus (A) for white-tailed deer were calculated and compared with values for white-tailed deer
