Molecular Detection and Genotyping of spp. in Deer (Cervidae) in Korea.

Major clinical symptoms of infection include fever, anemia, anorexia, jaundice, and decreased milk production. Although several studies have been conducted on tick-borne pathogens, including in Korea, only a few have focused on infection in deer, including the Korean water deer. Blood samples from 160 deer were collected and subjected to DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
