Genomic resources notes accepted 1 June 2013-31 July 2013.
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2013Co-Authors: Staffan Bensch, Corey S. Davis, Tomas Johansson, René M. Malenfant, Stephen S. Moore, Vaidas Palinauskas, David W Coltman, Olof Hellgren, Gediminas ValkiūnasAbstract:This article documents the public availability of (i) raw transcriptome sequence data, assembled contigs and UniProt BLAST hits from common crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) and Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) obtained from a controlled infection experiment; and (ii) raw transcriptome sequence data and 66596 SNPs for the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).

Association mapping of genetic risk factors for chronic wasting disease in wild deer
Evolutionary Applications, 2012Co-Authors: Tomomi Matsumoto, Michael D. Samuel, Trent K. Bollinger, Margo J. Pybus, David W ColtmanAbstract:Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy affecting North American cervids. We assessed the feasibility of association mapping CWD genetic risk factors in wild white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) using a panel of bovine microsatellite markers from three homologous deer linkage groups predicted to contain candidate genes. These markers had a low cross-species amplification rate (27.9%) and showed weak linkage disequilibrium (

Seroprevalence of Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii in black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus).
Veterinary Parasitology, 2008Co-Authors: Jitender P. Dubey, K. Mansfield, B. Hall, Oliver C.h. Kwok, P. ThulliezAbstract:Deer are considered important intermediate hosts for the coccidian parasites, Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum. Antibodies to N. caninum and T. gondii were determined in sera of 42 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and 43 black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) from Washington state, USA, using direct agglutination test with specific antigens. A titer of 1:25 was considered diagnostic for both parasites. N. caninum antibodies were found in 7 of 42 mule deer and 8 of 43 black-tailed deer. T. gondii antibodies were found in 14 black-tailed deer but not in any of the mule deer. This is probably the first report of seroprevalence of N. caninum in these hosts.

assessment of prospective preventive therapies for chronic wasting disease in mule deer
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2012Co-Authors: Lisa L Wolfe, David A Kocisko, Byron Caughey, Michael W MillerAbstract:We compared prion infection rates among mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) receiving pentosan polysulfate, tannic acid, tetracycline HCl, or no treatment 14 days before to 14 days after (dpi) oral inoculation with tonsil tissue homogenate. All deer were infected, but the rapid disease course (230–603 dpi) suggested our challenge was overwhelming.

PrPCWD in rectal lymphoid tissue of deer (Odocoileus spp.).
The Journal of general virology, 2007Co-Authors: Lisa L Wolfe, Terry R Spraker, Lorenzo González, Mark P Dagleish, Tracey M Sirochman, Jeremy C Brown, Martin Jeffrey, Michael W MillerAbstract:The utility of rectal lymphoid tissue sampling for the diagnosis of chronic wasting disease (CWD) infections in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was evaluated. CWD-associated prion protein (PrP(CWD)) deposits were observed in the rectal mucosa from 19 orally inoculated mule deer by 381 days post-inoculation (p.i.); similarly, 45 out of 50 naturally infected mule deer had PrP(CWD) in their rectal mucosa. In orally inoculated white-tailed deer, the presence of glycine (G) or serine (S) at codon 96 of the native PrP (denoted 96GG, 96GS or 96SS) appeared to influence the temporal patterns of PrP(CWD) deposition: nine out of 11 infected 96GG individuals had PrP(CWD) in their rectal mucosa by 342 days p.i., whereas only three out of seven infected 96GS individuals had PrP(CWD) in their rectal mucosa by 381 days p.i. and none of three 96SS individuals had PrP(CWD) in their rectal mucosa by 751 days p.i. These findings support further evaluation of rectal mucosa sampling in CWD surveillance.

spongiform encephalopathy in free ranging mule deer Odocoileus hemionus white tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus and rocky mountain elk cervus elaphus nelsoni in northcentral colorado
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1997Co-Authors: Terry R Spraker, Michael W Miller, Elizabeth S Williams, David M Getzy, W J Adrian, G G Schoonveld, R A Spowart, Katherine I Orourke, J M Miller, P A MerzAbstract:Between March 1981 and June 1995, a neurological disease characterized histologically by spongiform encephalopathy was diagnosed in 49 free-ranging cervids from northcentral Colorado (USA). Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) were the primary species affected and accounted for 41 (84%) of the 49 cases, but six Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) and two white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were also affected. Clinical signs included emaciation, excessive salivation, behavioral changes, ataxia, and weakness. Emaciation with total loss of subcutaneous and abdominal adipose tissue and serous atrophy of remaining fat depots were the only consistent gross findings. Spongiform encephalopathy characterized by microcavitation of gray matter, intraneuronal vacuolation and neuronal degeneration was observed microscopically in all cases. Scrapie-associated prion protein or an antigenically indistinguishable protein was demonstrated in brains from 26 affected animals, 10 using an immunohistochemical stainin...
