While domestic and wild animals share the same pathogens, wildlife is recognized as the reservoir of many
diseases. Considering their role as indicators, victims, bridge hosts, or maintenance hosts, the monitoring of
wildlife should be an integrated part of country surveillance and disease control strategy. Thus, the main aim
of this study was to determine the presence and the spread of selected infectious diseases in red deer
population in Serbia through seroprevalence estimation.
A random geographical collection of samples from 123 shot red deer was organized during the hunting season from
August 2022 to February 2023. The blood was collected directly from the heart using a syringe and needle. For each
sample, data on geolocation, species, age, and sex were collected. Sera samples were decanted after centrifugation at
2000 g for 10 minutes and tested for the presence of specific antibodies against Capripox virus (ELISA: ID Screen®
Capripox Double Antigen Multi-species, IDvet...), West Nile fever virus (ELISA: INgezim West Nile Compac, Ingenasa),
Schmallenberg virus (ELISA: ID Screen® Schmallenberg virus Indirect Multi-species, IDvet), Bluetongue disease virus
(ELISA: INgezim BTV DR, Ingenasa), Bovine viral diarrhea virus (ELISA: PrioCHECK™ Ruminant BVD p80 Ab Serum & Milk,
Prionics), Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (ELISA: ID Screen® IBR gB Competition, IDvet), Q fever (ELISA: ID Screen® Q Fever
Indirect Multi-species, IDvet), Brucella spp. (RBT; ELISA: INgezim® Brucella Compac 2.0 Ingenasa) and Leptospira spp.
(MAT).
Specific antibodies against Capripox virus, Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus and Leptospira spp. were not detected
in any of tested samples. Seroprevalence of Brucella spp. infection was 0.8%. Q fever infection was indirectly
confirmed in 3 red deer (2.4%) from the same hunting ground. Seroprevalence of vector-borne diseases in
the red deer population was 18.5% for Schmallenberg disease, 39% for Bluetongue disease, and 58.5% for
West Nile fever. Bovine Herpesvirus-1 antibodies were detected in 43.1% of samples.
The red deer population can be considered the reservoir of vector-borne viral diseases such as Bluetongue
disease, West Nile fever and Schmallenberg disease. Based on estimated seroprevalence, red deer should
not be considered a risk for maintaining Q fever, Brucellosis, Capripox virus, Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus and
Leptospira spp. infection. The results of the present study indicate that the red deer population should be
thoughtfully considered during livestock disease eradication programs, particularly infectious bovine
rhinotracheitis and Bluetongue disease.
