Abstract

A serologic survey was conducted on 628 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in 1976 and 1979–1980. Tests for antibodies to the etiologic agents of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR), parainfluenza 3 (PI3), leptospirosis, and brucellosis produced positive results of 15%, 20%, 3% and 0%, respectively. Adult deer had significantly higher prevalence of antibodies to IBR virus and PI3 virus than fawns. These data provide a basis for monitoring these disease agents in Minnesota's white-tailed deer.
