In wildlife captive management, contraception is highly desirable due to inbreeding risk and needed control of intra- inter-specific aggressions. Deer, for which surgical castration can cause abnormal growth the antlers, are suitable candidates pharmacological castration. The aim this study was evaluate effect on physiological patterns volatile chemical profiles two deer species. We placed a su...

Wildlife is an important source of many infectious agents for domestic animals and humans. Increasing interactions between humans, animals, wildlife may cause the infection contagious species. Domestic can be easily infected with Salmonella serovars as a result its asymptomatic presence in intestinal flora wild spreading around. The species feces red deer, which member Turkey, was investigated ...

Babesia are tick-borne parasites that are increasingly considered as a threat to animal and public health. We aimed to assess the role of European free-ranging wild ruminants as maintenance mammalian hosts for Babesia species and to determine risk factors for infection. EDTA blood was collected from 222 roe deer (Capreolus c. capreolus), 231 red deer (Cervus e. elaphus), 267 Alpine chamois (Rup...

Multitarget genotyping of the etiologic agent Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is necessary for epidemiological tracing of paratuberculosis (Johne's disease). The study was undertaken to assess the informative value of different typing techniques and individual genome markers by investigation of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis transmission between wild-living red deer and farmed cat...
