“…海外では大型の鹿が関係した過疎地での交通事故の報告はあるが，奈良公園のように人と鹿が生活圏を共有している市街地において，鹿が関係した「人の外傷症例」についての報告は見当たらず，その特徴は知られていない 2)。当院は奈良公園の近隣に位置し，鹿による外傷症例の搬送が増加している。今回，当院に救急搬送された「奈良のシカ」による外傷の特徴を検討したので報告する。…”

“…次に，受傷機転に特徴がある。犬による小児外傷の受傷機転は咬傷が82%と圧倒的に多いと報告されている 6)が，鹿では咬傷の割合は4%と少ない。その理由としては，ニホンジカが犬のような犬歯をもたず，咬傷といってもその歯板（歯ぐきが固まって板のようになった構造）による擦過傷程度で収まるため救急搬送に至らないからと推察される 7)。また，北米には体重700kgを超え，肩の高さ190cmに至るムースという野生の大型の鹿が生息し，とくに田舎において旅行者や地域住民の運転する自動車との接触事故で重傷外傷を負うことが問題となっているという 2)。「奈良のシカ」は雄の成体でも体重100kg以下であり，同様の受傷機転は本報告の6%しか該当せず，「奈良のシカ」による人への外傷の受傷機転は大きく異なる（Table 2）。…”

要旨2014年1月1日～2018年12月31日の5年間に奈良公園およびその周辺に生息するニホンジカ（以下「奈良のシカ」）が関係した外傷による当院への救急搬送症例の特徴を記述疫学的に検討した。計49例の搬送があり，男性18名，女性31名で，5年間で3.6倍に増加していた。平均年齢は男性15.3±23.3歳，女性35.1±25.1歳と差を認めており，男性は5歳以下が67%を占め成人男性の搬送は少なかった。奈良市の居住者よりも，旅行者が86%と圧倒的に多かった。打撲傷が80%を占めていたが不安定型骨盤骨折などの入院を要する症例も含まれていた。受傷機転は角や体当たりによる外傷が59%，咬傷が4%，鹿との接触がなく鹿の接近を契機に人が転倒するなどして受傷した症例が31%，車両乗車中の鹿に関係した交通事故が6%であった。救急搬送された「奈良のシカ」による人への外傷症例の特徴として，犬外傷と同様に男児の受傷が多い傾向があるが，比較して咬傷は少なく，直接鹿との接触がないのに外傷を負う受傷形態があることが明らかになった。

“…This group does not include animals under species protection, such as the European bison or the brown bear, because of the small numbers of these individuals in Poland. The most common publication topic is road crashes with moose [17,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. Other large animals studied include roe deer [37], deer [32,38,39], reindeer [11], and wild boar [38].…”

“…The issue of animal-vehicle crashes has also been analysed in terms of animal injuries [89], as well as in terms of the injuries of the accident participants [29,34]. The research indicates that an effective method for avoiding a crash is reducing the speed, which allows one to perform defensive manoeuvres [35,36,56].…”

This article describes the issue of the influences of the time factor and wildlife populations on road animal–vehicle crashes. The article presents problems associated with animal–vehicle crashes in Poland. They are the subject of many court disputes. For the purposes of the study, data on animal–vehicle road crashes were obtained from the SEWiK database, as well as data on the numbers of animals in hunting districts from 2016–2020. The relationship between the number of road crashes and time was analysed, and the relationships between the numbers of road crashes and the animal populations, as well as the locations, types, and categories of the hunting districts, were analysed as well. The factors related to changes in the wildlife populations, road crashes in previous years, and the lengths of the road networks were also analysed. The research shows no relationship between the abundance of a particular species and the number of road crashes. Instead, there is a correlation between the number of crashes in previous years and the road network length.

“…The animal-vehicle collisions represent a direct cause of death for wildlife mammals every year, and the main cause of wildlife rescues and admission to specialized veterinary hospitals (VHs) for first aid [ 3 , 4 ], with a wide range of different species involved [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Animal-vehicle collisions not only affect wildlife populations, but also endanger humans [ 17 ].…”

Animal-vehicle collisions are the major cause of rescue and need for hospitalization in wildlife referral centers. Clinicians need easy-to-use tools to make rapid decisions about whether to euthanize or treat injured animals. The aim of the study was to evaluate the data (reasons for rescue, diagnosed lesions, and outcome) from a hospitalized population of wildlife ungulates and investigate the benefits of using radiography as a diagnostic tool. Data were collected from three wildlife referral centers in Tuscany (Italy). The following information was collected for each animal: reason for hospitalization, clinical examination, radiographic examination, definitive diagnosis, and outcome. A chi-squared test was used to assess the benefits of radiography in detecting different traumatic lesions. Prevalence was reported according to the reason for hospitalization, definitive diagnosis, radiographic diagnosis, and outcome. The main reason for hospitalization was traumatic lesions due to vehicle collisions and 71.1% of the animals did not survive. Radiography was more useful in patients with traumatic axial skeletal lesions and/or multiple traumas with respect to traumatic appendicular skeleton lesions. Our results show that radiography is a useful diagnostic technique for assessing wildlife emergencies and it could help the clinician in making medical decisions.
