Electron micrograph of Bluetongue virus, scale bar = 50 nm. Bluetongue (BT) disease is a noncontagious, arthropod-borne viral disease affecting ruminants, [1] primarily sheep and other domestic or wild ruminants, including cattle, yaks, [2] goats, buffalo, deer, dromedaries, and antelope. [3]
In general, deer infected with EHD lose their appetite, lose their fear of people, grow weak, show excessive salivation, develop a rapid pulse, have a rapid respiration rate, show signs of a fever, which includes lying in bodies of water to reduce their body temperature, become unconscious, and have a blue tongue from the lack of oxygen in the ...
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus must be transmitted via bites from Culicoides gnats (C. verripennis) and cannot be transmitted directly from deer to deer. EHDV manifests itself as epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), which has similar symptoms to adenovirus hemorrhagic disease (AHD), “bluetongue” disease, and malignant catarrhal fever.
Adults' diets should be 40% protein, 50% greens and vegetables, and 10% fruit, and they should be fed 1-3 times a week. Babies on the other hand should be feed every day and having their feedings gradually reduced to about 2-3 times week after the skink reaches about a year old or about 1/3 of its potential length.
The tongue is blue-violet [4] to cobalt blue in color. [5] The tongue is used, like most animals in the order Squamata, to collect micro molecules to deliver to sensory organs as a "smell" sense using the tip. The tongue of the blue-tongued skink is also useful in catching prey, as it is coated in a sticky mucus to preserve surface tension in ...

Researchers in San Antonio loosely connected a deer-specific disease to the deaths of two hunters — which would be the first known cases of it jumping to humans. But there is more to the story.
The pygmy blue-tongue is again the exception, being primarily an ambush predator of terrestrial arthropods. [ 6 ] All are ovoviviparous , with litter sizes ranging from 1-4 in the pygmy blue-tongue and shingleback to 5-24 in the eastern and northern blue-tongues.
