Serosurvey For Selected Pathogens In Hunter-Killed Pronghorns In Western Nebraska, Jerre L. Johnson, T. Lynwood Barber, Merwin L. Frey, George Nason Jan 1986

Serosurvey For Selected Pathogens In Hunter-Killed Pronghorns In Western Nebraska, Jerre L. Johnson, T. Lynwood Barber, Merwin L. Frey, George Nason

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

Exposure of pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) in western Nebraska in 1983 to selected livestock pathogens was examined by serology and attempted virus isolation. Antibodies were present to the agents of bluetongue, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus. There were no serologic reactors to Brucella, and attempts to isolate the viruses of bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease were negative.

Serologic Survey Of Selected Pathogens In White-Tailed And Mule Deer In Western Nebraska, Jerre L. Johnson, T. Lynwood Barber, Merwin L. Frey, George Nason

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

Exposure of free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in western Nebraska to selected livestock pathogens was determined by serology and attempted virus isolation. Antibodies to bluetongue virus, epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus, and bovine respiratory syncytial virus were present in both species of deer. No serologic reactors to Brucella or Anaplasma were found. Attempts to isolate bluetongue virus were negative.
