“…Shortly thereafter, they isolated a reindeer-specific herpesvirus (cervid herpesvirus 2) from these animals (Ek- Kommonen et al, 1986). In Canada, antibodies to BHV-1 have been reported in other species of cervids including elk in southwestern Alberta (Kingscote et al, 1987) and white-tailed deer on Anticosti Island, Quebec (Lamontagne et al, 1989), but not in a sample of moose from Alberta (Thorsen and Henderson, 1971). Prior to this study, elk from Elk Island National Park in central Alberta were translocated to woodland caribou habitat in Saskatchewan (Arsenault, 1998) and there is serologic evidence of exposure to BHV-1 in elk from elsewhere in Alberta (Kingscote et al, 1987).…”

A herpesvirus with similarities to equine herpesvirus 4 was isolated from captive fallow deer (Dama dama) in Alberta (Thorsen et al, 1977;Kinyili and Thorsen, 1979). Recently a unique herpesvirus showing antigenic relatedness to BHV-1 was isolated from an elk in Saskatchewan (Deregt et al, 2000).…”

Evidence of Herpesvirus Infection in Woodland Caribou in Saskatchewan

Sera were collected from 40 female and two male woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Saskatchewan (Canada) from March 1992 to January 1995, inclusive. The samples were examined for antibodies against smooth Brucella spp., five serovars of Leptospira interrogans, bovine viral diarrhea virus, and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). Twenty-two (52%) of 42 sera exhibited positive reactions to BHV-1 by a modified serum neutralization test, and the prevalence correlated positively with the age of the animals. No antibodies were detected against the other pathogens. This is the first reported evidence of herpesvirus infection in isolated populations of woodland caribou in western Canada.

“…Antibodies to IBRV and BVDV in moose have been previously reported in North America (Thorsen and Henderson 1971;Zarnke and Yuill 1981;Kocan et al 1986). IBR is mainly a respiratory disease with conjunctivitis but lacking the corneal involvement of MCF: An infection by herpes-virus antigenically related to IBRV can produce occular and mucosal lesions in reindeer.…”

Malignant catarrhal fever in wild Swedish moose (Alces alces L)

Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) was diagnosed in two moose (Alces alces L) from the county of Uppland, Sweden. The animals showed an abnormal behaviour e.g. nervous signs as circling movements, nodding of the head and lack of awareness. One of these two animals was shot. The other was found dead on the day after being observed. Gross and histologic findings revealed characteristic lesions of MCF. Serological investigation and viral isolation for BVD and IBR/IPV viruses were negative.

“…High seroprevalence was also detected in wapiti (54%) in several national parks in the US by Aguirre et al (1995) and in Alberta by Kingscote et al (1987) (52%). 18% of moose in Canada (Thorsen & Henderson, 1971) and 12% in Alaska ( Kocan et al, 1986) have been reported to be seropositive. In Canada, 69% of caribou tested in 1978 and 60% tested in 1979 had specific antibodies against BVDV (Elazhary et al, 1981), whereas Zarnke (1983) only found 3% seroprevalence in caribou in Alaska.…”

Viral diseases of northern ungulates

This paper describes viral diseases reported in northern ungulates and those that are a potential threat to these species. The following diseases are discussed: bovine viral diarrhoea/mucosal disease (BVD/MD), alphaherpesvirus infections, malignant catarrhal fever (MCF), poxvirus infections, parainfluenza type 3 virus infection, Alvsborg disease, foot-and-mouth disease, epizootic haemorrhage disease of deer and bluetongue disease, rabies, respiratory syncytial virus infection, adenovirus infection, hog-cholera, Aujeszky's disease and equine herpesvirus infections. There are no significant differences in antibody prevalence to BVDV among deer in habitats with high, intermediate and low density of cattle. In addition, sequence analysis from the BVDV isolated from roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) showed that this strain was unique within BVDV group I. Disrinct BVDV strains might circulate in free-ranging roe deer populations in Germany and virus transmission may be independent of domestic livestock. Similar results have been obtained in a serological survey of alpha-herpesviruses in deer in Germany. Malignant catarrhal fever was studied in fallow deer (Cervus damd) in Germany: the seroprevalence and positive PCR results detected in sheep originating from the same area as the antibody-positive deer might indicate that sheep are the main reservoir animals. Contagious ecthyma (CE) is a common disease in domestic sheep and goats caused by the orf virus. CE has been diagnosed in Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus), Dall sheep (Ovis dalli), chamois (Rupkapra rupicapra), muskox {Ovibos moschatus) and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Most parainfluenza type 3 virus infections
