          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Investigations of four roe deer corpses were carried out from May until October 2014, in the Veterinary Forensic Laboratory and in the Parasitic Diseases Clinic, in the Iasi Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The roe deer were harvested by shooting during the trophy hunting season. The clinical examination of the shot specimens revealed the presence of a highly consistent number of extremely mobile apterous insects, spread on the face, head, neck, lateral body parts, abdominal regions, inguinal, perianal and, finally, all over the body. The corpses presented weakening, anemia and cutaneous modification conditions. Several dozen insects were prelevated in a glass recipient and preserved in 70º alcoholic solution in order to identify the ectoparasite species. The morphological characteristics included insects in the Diptera order, Hippoboscidae family, Lipoptena cervi species. These are highly hematophagous insects that by severe weakening are affecting the game health and trophy quality. Histological investigations of the skin revealed some inflammatory reactions caused by ectoparasite Lipoptena cervi. Lipoptena cervi was identified for the first time in Iasi County, Romania.

          RESUMO As investigações de quatro cadáveres de veados foram realizadas desde maio até outubro de 2014, no Laboratório Forense de Veterinária e na Clínica de Doenças Parasitárias, da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária de Iasi. Os veados foram abatidos por tiro durante a temporada de caça troféu. O exame clínico dos espécimes revelou a presença de um número muito consistente de insetos ápteros extremamente móveis, espalhados pela face, pela cabeça, pelo pescoço, pelas partes do corpo laterais, pelas regiões abdominal, inguinal, perianal e, finalmente, por todo o corpo. Os cadáveres apresentavam condições de enfraquecimento, anemia e alterações cutâneas. Várias dezenas de insetos foram separados em um recipiente de vidro e preservados em solução alcoólica de 70º, a fim de se identificarem as espécies de ectoparasitos. As características morfológicas incluem os insetos da ordem Diptera, família Hippoboscidae, espécie Lipoptena Cervi. Estes são insetos hematófagos que estão enfraquecendo e afetando a qualidade de saúde de animais de caça e troféu. Investigações histológicas da pele revelaram algumas reações inflamatórias causadas pelo ectoparasita cervi Lipoptena. Lipoptena cervi foi identificado pela primeira vez no condado de Iasi, na Romênia.

          Isolation of Bartonella schoenbuchensis from Lipoptena cervi, a blood-sucking arthropod causing deer ked dermatitis.

          Bartonella schoenbuchensis, which commonly causes bacteremia in ruminants, was isolated from the deer ked Lipoptena cervi and was shown to localize to the midgut of this blood-sucking arthropod, causing deer ked dermatitis in humans. The role of B. schoenbuchensis in the etiology of deer ked dermatitis should be further investigated.

            Role of Hippoboscidae flies as potential vectors of Bartonella spp. infecting wild and domestic ruminants.

            The putative role of biting flies in Bartonella transmission among ruminants was investigated. Amplification of the Bartonella citrate synthase gene from 83 Hippoboscidae was detected in 94% of 48 adult Lipoptena cervi flies, 71% of 17 adult Hippobosca equina flies, 100% of 20 adult Melophagus ovinus flies, and 100% of 10 M. ovinus pupae. Our findings suggest that Hippoboscidae play a role in the transmission of Bartonella among ruminants. The vertical transmission of Bartonella in M. ovinus and the presence of Bartonella DNA in all samples suggest a symbiotic association between Bartonella and M. ovinus.
