A serologic survey revealed that Norwegian populations of free-ranging reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus), and moose (Alces alces) have been exposed to alpha-herpesviruses and pestiviruses. A total of 3,796 serum samples collected during the period 1993-2000 were tested in a neutralization test for antibodies against bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) or cervid herpesvirus 2 (CerHV-2), and 3,897 samples were tested by a neutralization test and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). Antibodies against alpha-herpesvirus were found in 28.5% of reindeer, 3.0% of roe deer, and 0.5% of red deer, while all moose samples were negative. In reindeer, the prevalence of seropositive animals increased with age and was higher in males than females. Antibodies against BVDV were detected in 12.3% of roe deer, 4.2% of reindeer, 2.0% of moose and 1.1% of red deer. The results indicate that both alpha-herpesvirus and pestivirus are endemic in reindeer and pestivirus is endemic in roe deer in Norway. The viruses may be specific cervid strains. Seropositive red deer and moose may have become exposed as a result of contact with other ruminant species.
一项血清学调查显示，挪威自由放养的驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus tarandus）、狍（Capreolus capreolus）、马鹿（Cervus elaphus）和驼鹿（Alces alces）种群曾接触过α疱疹病毒和瘟病毒。对1993年至2000年期间采集的总共3796份血清样本进行了针对牛疱疹病毒1型（BHV - 1）或鹿疱疹病毒2型（CerHV - 2）抗体的中和试验，对3897份样本进行了针对牛病毒性腹泻病毒（BVDV）抗体的中和试验和/或酶联免疫吸附测定。在28.5%的驯鹿、3.0%的狍和0.5%的马鹿中发现了针对α疱疹病毒的抗体，而所有驼鹿样本均为阴性。在驯鹿中，血清阳性动物的患病率随年龄增加，且雄性高于雌性。在12.3%的狍、4.2%的驯鹿、2.0%的驼鹿和1.1%的马鹿中检测到了针对BVDV的抗体。结果表明，α疱疹病毒和瘟病毒在挪威驯鹿中为地方性流行，瘟病毒在挪威狍中为地方性流行。这些病毒可能是特定的鹿科毒株。血清阳性的马鹿和驼鹿可能是由于与其他反刍动物物种接触而受到感染。
