Acute sarcocystosis in a captive white-tailed deer in Virginia

Duncan RB Jr, JH Fox, DS Lindsay, JP Dubey, and ME Zuccaro


ABSTRACT

A 19-mo-old female captive white-tailed deer in a public wild animal park in Richmond (Virginia, USA) was necropsied and evaluated histologically following spontaneous death after a 1 wk period of lethargy in a captive herd of 22 deer. An acute necrotizing pneumonia was associated with intraendothelial protozoal schizonts that were identified immunohistochemically as Sarcocystis spp. This is the first confirmed report of acute sarcocystosis in a wild ruminant.
