title: Bunyavirus infections in North Carolina white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus).
abstract: We analyzed serum from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) collected in southeastern North Carolina in 1991 for neutralizing antibodies to six mosquito-borne bunyaviruses (Lacrosse, Jamestown Canyon, Keystone,Cache Valley, Potosi, and Tensaw), including several of public health importance. Evidence was found for all six to be locally transmitted, although greatest seroprevalence was found for Potosi, Jamestown Canyon, and Cache Valley viruses.
