A malignant catarrhal fever-like disease in red deer (Cervus elaphus) in New Zealand.
Two case histories are presented to illustrate the clinical and pathological findings of a malignant catarrhal fever-like disease as seen in farmed red deer in New Zealand. Attention is drawn to the similarities with some exotic diseases and the suggestion is made that deer may act as a reservoir for the aetiological agent.
