“…Based on this study, the way drought severity and HD outbreaks interact may provide some predictive value for local and regional management of deer populations. Given the apparent high mortality rates for naïve deer populations, HD can have top‐down effects on deer abundance, producing direct numeric reductions in a population (Christensen, 2018; Fischer et al, 1995; Gaydos et al, 2004; Holdo et al, 2009; Stevens, McCluskey, King, O'Hearn, & Mayr, 2015). Unfortunately, few practical tools for HD management exist, aside from post‐outbreak manipulation of deer harvest limits.…”

Bluetongue virus and epizootic hemorrhagic disease (HD) virus are globally distributed, vector‐borne viruses that infect and cause disease in domestic and wild ruminant species. The forces driving increases in resulting HD may be linked to weather conditions and increasing severity has been noted in northerly latitudes. We evaluated the role of drought severity in both space and time on changes in HD reports across the eastern United States for a recent 15 year period. The objectives of this study were to: (a) develop a spatiotemporal model to evaluate if drought severity explains changing patterns of HD presence; and (b) determine whether this potential risk factor varies in importance over the present range of HD in the eastern United States. Historic data (2000–2014) from an annual HD presence–absence survey conducted by the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study and from the United States Drought Monitor were used for this analysis. For every county in 23 states and for each of 15 years, data were based on reported drought status for August, wetland cover, the physiographic region, and the status of HD in the previous year. We used a generalized linear mixed model to explain HD presence and evaluated spatiotemporal predictors across the region. We found that drought severity was a significant predictor of HD presence and the significance of this relationship was dependent on latitude. In more northerly latitudes, where immunological naivety is most likely, we demonstrated the increasing strength of drought severity as a determinant of reported HD and established the importance of variation in drought severity as a risk factor over the present range of HD in the eastern United States. Our research provides spatially explicit evidence for the link between climate forces and emerging disease patterns across latitude for a globally distributed disease.

“…Another important EHDV incident was reported in Israel during fall of 2006, where the EHDV serotype 7 caused a huge loss in the cattle industry resulting the subsequent loss to the dairy industry [37,38]. Mark et al, demonstrated an experiment determining the subsequent susceptibility of EHDV 7 on white tailed deer and observed the clinical sings of epizootic hemmoragic disease resulting 67 % mortality [39]. This suggests the pathogenicity can retain for a longer period in multiple species with similar basic clinical signs.…”

The world livestock industry emerging by defeating all its limits and challenges in the course of mass production. Many pathogenic disease outbreaks restrict the scope for a better management practice rather to go for a better medication. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) can be considered as the major threat in the livestock industry causing severe loss in the production as well as revenue generation. Several EHDV outbreak reports have been recorded along with immense research to understand the molecular mechanism of viral replication along with the structure, while a better management practice can strongly expect to prevent the subsequent infection. Several important characters directly or indirectly influence the EHDV outbreaks in different locations. The continuous disease occurrence and its significant impact on the livestock industry impose the conception of the management practice to prevent further consequences of EHDV infection.

“…There are seven EHDV serotypes recognized worldwide (Ruder et al, 2015a), and EHD is considered one of the most important infectious diseases of WTD (Stallknecht et al, 2015). However, recent epidemiological shifts have increased the concern of livestock producers in North America for EHD (Breard et al, 2013;McVey et al, 2015;Stevens et al, 2015).…”

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses (EHDV) are dsRNA arboviruses transmitted by biting midges of the genus Culicoides that cause disease in domestic and wild ruminants. Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is considered the most important infectious disease of white tailed deer (WTD) in North America, some studies in Northeast Mexico reported EHDV-seropositive WTD and EHDV-infected Culicoides vectors. The increasing population of WTD that share habitat with livestock in Northeast México highlights the importance of EHD for the livestock industry in the transboundary region with the U.S. One hundred and twenty two samples from WTD in Tamaulipas state, Mexico were tested by ELISA and RT-PCR for EHDV antibodies and nucleic acid, respectively. Twelve animals were seropositive to ELISA and eleven animals were positive by RT-PCR. This is the first report of EHDV nucleic acid detection in WTD from Mexico. It is hypothesized that applying the transboundary disease approach to interdisciplinary research will help fill knowledge gaps, which could help develop countermeasures to mitigate the threat of EHDV infection in wildlife and livestock along the U.S.-Mexico border.
