Lesion Morphology

Sections of tuberculous lesions from 23 elk ( Cervus elaphus nelsoni) and red deer ( Cervus elaphus elaphus), 12 fallow deer ( Dama dama), 10 sika deer ( Cervus nippon), and 30 cattle were examined and compared. Lesions were scored for caseous necrosis, mineralization, neutrophils, macrophages, giant cells, and acid-fast bacilli. Some differences in lesion morphology between the species were noted. Elk/red deer lesions had marked variation and often differed from bovine lesions in several characteristics; elk/red deer lesions usually had scattered peripheral mineralization rather than central mineralization and contained more neutrophils and fewer giant cells than did bovine lesions. Fallow deer lesions contained more giant cells but were otherwise indistinguishable from elk lesions. Sika deer lesions had more giant cells and fewer neutrophils than did lesions from cattle or other cervid species. Sika deer giant cells were larger and contained more nuclei than did giant cells in the other species.

The aim of the present study was to assess the in vivo competence of in vitro-produced sika deer (Cervus nippon nippon) embryos after freezing–thawing and transfer into red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus) recipients. During the breeding season, 11 adult sika deer hinds were synchronized as oocyte donors with an intravaginal sponge (45 mg of fluorogestone acetate, FGA) inserted for 12 days and removed immediately after laparoscopic ovum pick-up (LOPU), and renewed after 3 days. Ovarian stimulation was induced with an i.m. injection of 75 µg of cloprostenol (Estrumate) given on Day 8, followed by 3 i.m. injections of 0.1, 0.1, and 0.05 IU of ovine FSH (Ovagen) on Days 10 and 11 at 12-h intervals. On Day 12, hinds were anesthetized and oocytes were collected by LOPU from follicles >2 mm using an 18 G needle under moderate vacuum. COC were recovered and morphologically evaluated for quality (graded from 1 to 5). COC were then submitted to in vitro maturation, fertilization, and culture (IVM, IVF, and IVC) as described previously (Locatelli Y et al. 2005 Theriogenology 64, 1729–1739). For IVC, embryos were co-cultured with a monolayer of ovine oviduct epithelial cells in synthetic oviduct fluid medium supplemented with 10% FCS. On Day 8 post-insemination, all sika deer embryos at the blastocyst stage were cryopreserved via a standard bovine slow-freezing protocol. Of 44 LOPU sessions performed during the 1-month study, an average of 7.5 � 0.38 follicles were aspirated (mean � SEM), allowing the recovery of 3.65 � 0.38 COC per hind and per session, of which 80.0% were suitable for IVM (grades 1 and 2). Of 142 oocytes recovered, 57 cleaved after IVF (40.1%), and 14 embryos (24.6% of cleaved) reached the blastocyst stage after 8 days. At the end of the breeding season, 7 adult red deer hinds were synchronized as embryo recipients by inserting 2 intravaginal sponges per female (90 mg of FGA), for 13 days. Injections (i.m.) of 400 IU of eCG and 125 µg of cloprostenol (Estrumate) were administered 72 h before sponge removal. At Day 8 after sponge removal, straws containing frozen embryos were thawed and cryoprotectant was removed as described previously (see Locatelli Y et al. 2005 Theriogenology 64, 1729–1739). Two sika deer embryos were surgically transferred into uterine horn (unilaterally) of each red deer recipient. One of 7 red deer recipients was diagnosed pregnant by ultrasonography on Day 56. A healthy male sika deer fawn was born unassisted after 224 days of gestation. No complications were observed in initial recognition of the sika deer fawn by the red deer surrogate mother, nor in subsequent interactions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an interspecific pregnancy obtained after in vitro embryo production and embryo transfer in deer species. In conclusion, interspecific embryo transfer after IVP may represent a useful tool for the preservation and amplification of captive residual populations of endangered deer species. Further studies are required to increase the rate of cleavage after LOPU-IVF as well as viability of frozen–thawed IVP embryos.

The behaviour of sika and red deer during the rutting season is highly variable in relation to vocalization, habitat preference during the rut, and onset and termination of rutting. The red deer is a native species in Central Europe, but the areas where it lives in sympatry with the introduced sika deer have been increasing in the last three decades. Such situation can be found in the Doupovské hory Mts., where sika deer has been intensively spreading. Hybridization between the two species and changes in behaviour are the most important problems. In this study we prove the shift in the rutting period shown by both species. To evaluate the shift in the rutting season, we used a very extensive long-term data set on deer shot within the Military Training Area. These changes occur very slowly, however, and are very difficult to monitor and evaluate in the wild. Based on our results, the timing of the rutting season has converged at the mean rate of 0.62 day per year (rutting season starts later in the red deer and earlier in the sika deer).

(1) Background: Wild cervids play an important role in transmission cycles of tick-borne pathogens; however, investigations of tick-borne pathogens in sika deer in Germany are lacking. (2) Methods: Spleen tissue of 74 sympatric wild cervids (30 roe deer, 7 fallow deer, 22 sika deer, 15 red deer) and of 27 red deer from a farm from southeastern Germany were analyzed by molecular methods for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia species. (3) Results: Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia DNA was demonstrated in 90.5% and 47.3% of the 74 combined wild cervids and 14.8% and 18.5% of the farmed deer, respectively. Twelve 16S rRNA variants of A. phagocytophilum were delineated. While the infection rate for A. phagocytophilum among the four cervid species was similar (71.4% to 100%), it varied significantly for Babesia between roe deer (73.3%), fallow deer (14.3%), sika deer (27.3%) and red deer (40.0%). Deer ≤2 years of age tested significantly more often positive than the older deer for both A. phagocytophilum and Babesia species. (4) Conclusions: This study confirms the widespread occurrence of A. phagocytophilum and Babesia species in wild cervids and farmed red deer in Germany and documents the co-occurrence of the two tick-borne pathogens in free-ranging sika deer.
