Abstract

The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is a wild ungulate and game species with a broad distribution in Portugal. In Idanha-a-Nova (Castelo Branco) there is a particular interest in studying these populations due to the importance of the hunting industry to the regional economy, and the recognised role of ungulates as reservoirs of infectious agents to livestock and humans. This histopathology survey aimed to compare deer lesions from Idanha-a-Nova (n=16) and Lousã (n=4). Samples from the lung, liver and kidney of animals were collected during the hunting season. The results reveal a high prevalenceof parasitic bronchitis (13/20; 65%), especially in Idanha-a-Nova (11/16; 68.8%). Moreover, many animals presented non-purulent nephritis (8/20; 40%). No statistically significant differences were found between regions or genders for any lesion. This survey provides an overview of the health status of the red deer populations in these regions. Further studies are crucial to better know the sanitary situation of these populations and under the One Health perspective, to apply protective measures for animal, hunter and consumer health.

来自Idanha-a-Nova和Lousã(葡萄牙)的马鹿(Cervus elaphus)组织病理学病变:初步结果

马鹿(Cervus elaphus)是一种野生有蹄类动物和狩猎物种，在葡萄牙分布广泛。在Idanha-a-Nova (Castelo Branco)，由于狩猎产业对区域经济的重要性，以及有蹄类动物作为牲畜和人类传染性病原体宿主的公认作用，对这些种群的研究特别感兴趣。本组织病理学调查旨在比较Idanha-a-Nova (n=16)和Lousã (n=4)的鹿病变。在狩猎季节采集动物的肺、肝和肾样本。结果显示，寄生虫支气管炎的患病率很高(13/20;65%)，尤其是在Idanha-a-Nova (11/16;68.8%)。此外，许多动物出现非化脓性肾炎(8/20;40%)。在不同地区或性别的病变中没有发现统计学上的显著差异。该调查提供了这些地区马鹿种群健康状况的概述。进一步的研究对于更好地了解这些人群的卫生状况以及在同一个健康观点下对动物、猎人和消费者的健康采取保护措施至关重要。
