“…In free-living and captive cervids, BVDV has been detected in a wide range of European and North American species such as roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus), fallow deer (Dama dama), elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) (Nettleton et al, 1980;Neumann et al, 1980;Frö lich and Hoffmann, 1995;Tessaro et al, 1999;Van Campen et al, 2001;Chase et al, 2008). Experimental infections in immunocompetent elk, mule and white-tailed deer, and reindeer showed no or only weak clinical signs but always transient viremia followed by seroconversion (Morton et al, 1990;Van Campen et al, 1997;Tessaro et al, 1999;Passler et al, 2007;Ridpath et al, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT:During 2007-09, ear-notch samples from free-living (n5527) and farmed (n5237) Austrian red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus) were tested for bovine viral diarrhea virus type 1 (BVDV-1) and type 2 (BVDV-2) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and single-tube real-time reverse transcription PCR. Ear-notch samples were collected by applying modified ear tags from randomly selected hunter-harvested red deer and from individuals originating from deer holdings. All samples tested negative for BVDV-1 and BVDV-2. Results of this study show no evidence of persistently infected animals. They indicate further that BVDV is playing a minor role in free-living and farmed red deer in Austria. Earnotch samples are an effective tool for in vivo and postmortem detection of BVDV in wildlife. This sample collection technique can be easily used in combination with tagging individual wild animals kept in captivity.

“…BVDV is generally seen in ruminants only and the main host is considered to be cattle. Only a few papers report the isolation of a BVD virus from other ruminants than cattle, namely red deer (Cervus elaphus) (Nettleton et al, 1980), fallow deer (Dama dama) (Neumann et al, 1980) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) (Romvary, 1965;Schellner, 1977). Only Frö lich and Hoffmann (1995) have reported cytopathogenic BVDV in deer.…”

Bovine Virus Diarrhea Virus in Free-Living Deer from Denmark

Free-living deer are suggested as a possible source of infection of cattle with bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) virus. To examine this hypothesis blood samples from 476 freeliving deer were collected during two different periods and tested for BVD virus and antibody in Denmark. In 1995-96, 207 animals were tested. These included 149 roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), 29 fallow deer (Dama dama), 20 red deer (Cervus elaphus) and one sika deer (Cervus sika). For the remaining eight animals no species information was available. In 1998-99, 269 animals were tested including 212 roe deer and 57 red deer. The animals were selected from areas with a relatively high prevalence of cattle herds with a BVD persistent infection status in 1997 and 1998. All 207 samples from 1995-96 were found antibody-negative except two samples from red deer. Only 158 of the 207 samples were tested for virus and were all found negative. Of the 269 samples from 1998-99 all but one were antibody negative. The positive sample was from a red deer. All samples were virus-negative. It appears that BVD infection does not occur in roe deer in Denmark. The presence of antibody in a few red deer from various districts in Jutland probably results from cattle to deer transmission, rather than spread among deer. Hence, the possibility of free-living deer as a source of infection for cattle in Denmark seems to be remote.

“…Diaz et al (1988) demonstrated BVDV in one fallow deer. Isolation of a noncytopathogenic BVDV from the spleen of a red deer was reported by Nettleton et al (1980). A pestivirus differing from BVDV was isolated from red deer by Baradel et al (1988).…”

Viral diseases of northern ungulates

This paper describes viral diseases reported in northern ungulates and those that are a potential threat to these species. The following diseases are discussed: bovine viral diarrhoea/mucosal disease (BVD/MD), alphaherpesvirus infections, malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), poxvirus infections, parainfluenza type 3 virus infection, Alvsborg disease, foot-and-mouth disease, epizootic haemorrhage disease of deer and bluetongue disease, rabies, respiratory syncytial virus infection, adenovirus infection, hog-cholera, Aujeszky's disease and equine herpesvirus infections. There are no significant differences in antibody prevalence to BVDV among deer in habitats with high, intermediate and low density of cattle. In addition, sequence analysis from the BVDV isolated from roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) showed that this strain was unique within BVDV group I. Disrinct BVDV strains might circulate in free-ranging roe deer populations in Germany and virus transmission may be independent of domestic livestock. Similar results have been obtained in a serological survey of alpha-herpesviruses in deer in Germany. Malignant catarrhal fever was studied in fallow deer (Cervus damd) in Germany: the seroprevalence and positive PCR results detected in sheep originating from the same area as the antibody-positive deer might indicate that sheep are the main reservoir animals. Contagious ecthyma (CE) is a common disease in domestic sheep and goats caused by the orf virus. CE has been diagnosed in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), Dall sheep (Ovis dalli), chamois (Rupkapra rupicapra), muskox {Ovibos moschatus) and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Most parainfluenza type 3 virus infections
