  • A Survey of the Transmission of Infectious Diseases/Infections
    Martin et al. Veterinary Research 2011, 42:70 http://www.veterinaryresearch.org/content/42/1/70 VETERINARY RESEARCH REVIEW Open Access A survey of the transmission of infectious diseases/infections between wild and domestic ungulates in Europe Claire Martin1,4, Paul-Pierre Pastoret2, Bernard Brochier3, Marie-France Humblet1 and Claude Saegerman1* Abstract The domestic animals/wildlife interface is becoming a global issue of growing interest. However, despite studies on wildlife diseases being in expansion, the epidemiological role of wild animals in the transmission of infectious diseases remains unclear most of the time. Multiple diseases affecting livestock have already been identified in wildlife, especially in wild ungulates. The first objective of this paper was to establish a list of infections already reported in European wild ungulates. For each disease/infection, three additional materials develop examples already published, specifying the epidemiological role of the species as assigned by the authors. Furthermore, risk factors associated with interactions between wild and domestic animals and regarding emerging infectious diseases are summarized. Finally, the wildlife surveillance measures implemented in different European countries are presented. New research areas are proposed in order to provide efficient tools to prevent the transmission of diseases between wild ungulates and livestock. Table of contents 3.1.1. Environmental changes 1.

  • Friday Night Auction
    GETTING YOUTH OUTDOORS Welcome Dear Friends and Fellow Outdoor Supporters, Welcome and thank you for supporting the second annual Heartland DSC Banquet! Heartland DSC is excited to state that during the last year we were able to successfully pursue our mission of “Getting Youth Outdoors” by exposing kids to hunting and fishing that may have not otherwise had the opportunity. Highlights of the past year included a youth fishing tournament, certification of new young hunters during our hunter education course, a youth shooting clinic and Heartland DSC sponsored youth hunts. For many of the young participants it was their first time doing these types of activities. We took a large step in providing hunting opportunities for young people by securing exclusive access to a tract of land teaming with deer and turkey. This provides us the ability to offer youth hunting in a well-controlled environment. While our efforts are focused on all youth, we are putting a special emphasis on introducing outdoor activities to those youth that may not otherwise have the opportunity due to disabilities, lack of accessibility, or other life circumstances. We have worked hard to attract outstanding auction items from reputable outfitters and donors who have graciously donated to the organization’s mission. Heartland DSC encourages you to place your bids with confidence and in the spirit of providing the funds necessary to further the organization’s objectives while obtaining goods and services for your enjoyment. Again, thank you for your support and have a wonderful evening!

  • Low Sequence Diversity of the Prion Protein Gene (PRNP) in Wild Deer and Goat Species from Spain
    Pitarch et al. Vet Res (2018) 49:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13567-018-0528-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Low sequence diversity of the prion protein gene (PRNP) in wild deer and goat species from Spain José Luis Pitarch1, Helen Caroline Raksa1, María Cruz Arnal2, Miguel Revilla2, David Martínez2, Daniel Fernández de Luco2, Juan José Badiola1, Wilfred Goldmann3 and Cristina Acín1* Abstract The frst European cases of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in free-ranging reindeer and wild elk were confrmed in Norway in 2016 highlighting the urgent need to understand transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in the context of European deer species and the many individual populations throughout the European continent. The genetics of the prion protein gene (PRNP) are crucial in determining the relative susceptibility to TSEs. To establish PRNP gene sequence diversity for free-ranging ruminants in the Northeast of Spain, the open reading frame was sequenced in over 350 samples from fve species: Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), fallow deer (Dama dama), Iberian wild goat (Capra pyrenaica hispanica) and Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra p. pyrenaica). Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found in red deer: a silent mutation at codon 136, and amino acid changes T98A and Q226E. Pyrenean chamois revealed a silent SNP at codon 38 and an allele with a single octapeptide-repeat deletion. No polymorphisms were found in roe deer, fallow deer and Iberian wild goat. This appar- ently low variability of the PRNP coding region sequences of four major species in Spain resembles previous fndings for wild mammals, but implies that larger surveys will be necessary to fnd novel, low frequency PRNP gene alleles that may be utilized in CWD risk control.

ABSTRACT. Neotropical deer species have broad geographic ranges in vulnerable Latin American ecosystems. Habitat destruction and overhunting have limited deer species to a portion of their historical ranges. Our aims are to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of Neotropical deer species systematics and evo- lutionary history, and to discuss their current conservation status.

Accepted on 29 December 2015. ABstract: Corvids are renowned for their variable foraging behaviour, and about 20 species in eight genera perch on wild and domestic ungulates to pick ticks on the body of these mammals. Herein I illustrate and briefly comment on the Purplish Jay (Cyanocorax cyanomelas) riding deer and tapir in the Pantanal, Western Brazil. The jay perched on the head or back of the ungulates and searched for ticks, playing the role of a cleaner bird. Deer are rarely reported as hosts or clients of tick-picking birds in the Neotropics. The Purplish Jay is the southernmost Neotropical cleaner corvid reported to date. Given their opportunistic foraging behaviour, a few other Cyanocorax jay species may occasionally play the cleaner role of wild and domestic ungulates. KEY-WORDS: Cyanocorax cyanomelas, foraging, cleaning behaviour, Pantanal, Western Brazil.
