Antibodies to Nine Infectious Disease Agents in Deer from California

Serum samples from wild deer herds in California were tested by ELISA for IgG antibodies against nine disease agents. The following overall antibody prevalences were found: Anaplasma marginale, 34%; Chlamydia spp., 6%; Coxiella burnetii, 6%; Haemophilus somnus, 5%; Leptospira spp., 3%; Mycobacterium...

Zusammenfassung:Serum samples from wild deer herds in California were tested by ELISA for IgG antibodies against nine disease agents. The following overall antibody prevalences were found: Anaplasma marginale, 34%; Chlamydia spp., 6%; Coxiella burnetii, 6%; Haemophilus somnus, 5%; Leptospira spp., 3%; Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, 17%; Mycoplasma spp., 30%; Pasteurella multocida, 20%; and Toxoplasma gondii, 12%. Patterns of antibody prevalence for these disease agents are presented for 22 deer herds. It is suggested that an antibody profile for a deer herd at a given time is unique and can be used to make herd health and management decisions.
