| Popis: | THE substantial increase in the population of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis Miller) throughout much of Illinois in recent years is a phenomenon which has been observed in many states.4"9a,1I This increase has brought with it problems of game management, conservation, and public health in addition to those in agriculture. The increase in deer has resulted in a tremendous increase in hunters. Larger numbers of people are now handling deer carcasses, resulting in numerous requests from veterinarians, doctors, and others for information on possible danger of infection from this source. The first deer hunting season in Illinois since 1900 provided an opportunity to assess the role of deer in the epidemiology and epizootiology of brucellosis and leptospirosis, two of the most costly zoonoses in the United States. |
