“…24 An astrocytoma was observed in a white-tailed deer fawn 12 and a chamois ( Rupicapra rupicapra ). 4 A mixed glioma and rhabdomyosarcoma was seen in a female white-tailed deer. 11 Ependymomas have also been reported in white-tailed deer.…”

Abstract. Central nervous system tumors are rarely reported in cervids. The current report describes gross and histopathologic oligodendrogliomas in 3 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and selected immunohistochemical properties of 2 deer. All deer were euthanized due to central nervous system signs. Grossly, masses were variably circumscribed, locally invasive in the brain, light grey, and soft, and ranged from 2 to 5 cm in diameter. Histologically, tumors were characteristic for oligodendroglioma. The tumors were composed primarily of oval to round cells with round normochromatic to hyperchromatic nuclei, a pale granular cytoplasm, and well-delineated cytoplasmic membrane, and variable amounts of mucinous material, hemorrhage, and dystrophic mineralization. Immunohistochemistry, performed on masses from 2 deer, had positive cytoplasmic staining for S100 and variable staining on glial fibrillary acidic protein (1 deer negative and the other with rare positivity in astrocytes within the mass). This manuscript includes a discussion on the significance of these findings relative to central nervous system tumors of cervids and oligodendrogliomas from other species.

“…Reports of tumors in free-ranging chamois are very rare. Compared to domestic animals, neoplasms are rarely observed in free-living animals, and reports mostly refer to histopathological findings in dead animals [12]. There are only four reports of neoplasms in chamois in the literature, adenomatous neoplasms of the gallbladder [67], a fibroblastic osteosarcoma [68], a nasal papilloma [13], and an astrocytoma [12].…”

In this study, cutaneous fibrosarcoma, cutaneous myxofibroma, and hepatic cholangiocarcinoma were diagnosed, which have a mortality rate of 1% in the chamois in Slovenia.…”

“…The occurrence of numerous infectious diseases in chamois has been documented in the scientific literature [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Frequent and close contacts between livestock and wild ruminants pose a risk of the cross-transmission of emerging and re-emerging pathogens and are a potential problem in the Alps due to traditional gazing in late spring and summer [4,7,14].…”

In this paper, we provide an overview of the causes of death of Alpine chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) diagnosed in the national passive health surveillance of chamois in Slovenia. From 2000 to 2020, 284 free-ranging chamois provided by hunters were necropsied at the Veterinary Faculty, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Depending on the results of complete necropsy, histopathological, bacteriological, parasitological, and virological examinations, a descriptive data analysis was performed. The most common causes of death in chamois were infectious diseases (82.2%), followed by non-infectious diseases (11.8%). Of all the causes of death, parasitic infections accounted for 70.3%, trauma for 9.7%, and bacterial infections for 9.3% of all cases. Less common diseases were viral infections, neoplasms, winter starvation, and metabolic disorders.
