Leukoencephalomalacia in a white-tailed deer from North Carolina.
Leukoencephalomalacia similar to equine leukoencephalomalacia occurred in a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from North Carolina. The deer was recumbent and stuporous when presented for examination. It was believed that the disease resulted from ingestion of moldy field corn, infected with Fusarium moniliforme.
