Diseases associated with translocation of captive cervids in North America

摘要: The privatization of captive cervids, with associated interstate movement poses a substantial health risk to native free-ranging wildlife and domestic animals in North America. Captive cervid operations provide an avenue for transmission diseases such as chronic wasting disease that could have significant impact on wild populations. In addition, other infectious parasites pathogens are potentially translocation include, but not limited the agents brucellosis (Brucella abortus), bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis), hemorrhagic (Orbivirus spp.), viral diarrhea (Pestivirus deer meningeal worm (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis), Johne's avium paratuberculosis), various arthropod-borne diseases. Transmission into previously uninfected states provinces through live can adverse consequences. Monitoring treatment combat outbreaks livestock–wildlife costs hundreds millions dollars. Inconsistency jurisdiction, financial responsibility, indemnity lead distrust poor working relationships between state or provincial agriculture departments. Although humans has been historically deer, cervids conjunction captivity zoonotic including tuberculosis. We summarize activities, potential livestock, costs.
