Abstract

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of some bacterial infections which affect roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). From May 2007 to October 2008 a total of 367 roe deer were captured from different areas in Lugo province (N.W. Spain). All the animals were males aged between 3 and 10 years old. On the other hand rose Bengal test (RBT) and complement fixation test (CFT. as confirmatory test) were techniques performed to accomplish the diagnosis of brucellosis of 299 serum samples. The diagnosis of paratuberculosis in 65 roe deer was performed by me Ziehl-Neelsen stain (ZNS), histopatological examination and by tissue culture techniques. Individual ileocecal valve stamps were ZN stained previously to search the presence of single acid phase bacilli and later a bacteriological culture was carried out. Using these techniques neither paratuberculosis lesions nor the presence or growth were detected. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was realized' by the Ziehl-Neelsen stain and tissue culture techniques in 55 roe deer. In any samples were identified lesions compatible with tuberculosis and neither presence nor growth of micobacteriae after ZNS and bacteriological culture were detected. The results show mat in an area like Galicia, where the prevalence of diseases studied in domestic ruminants is very low paratuberculosis: 1.47%, tuberculosis: 0.19% and brucellosis: 0.11%; Diéguez et al. 2007, RASVE 2007), the level of infection of roe deer is very low of zero. This fact suggests that roe deer in Galicia do not act as reservoirs for domestic ruminants.
