Theileria cervi is a tick-borne protozoan that infects different deer species around the world. Clinical diseases due to Theileria cervi have been reported in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in the USA, however, information about this parasite has not been documented in Mexico. Here, blood samples from three white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from a region in northeastern Mexico were analyzed by blood smear, PCR, and DNA sequencing. The results confirmed the presence of T. cervi for the first time in white-tailed deer in Mexico.
绵羊泰勒虫是一种蜱传原生动物，感染世界各地不同的鹿种。在美国，白尾鹿（Odocoileus virginianus）和骡鹿（Odocoileus hemionus）已报告因绵羊泰勒虫而出现临床疾病，但在墨西哥，尚未有关于这种寄生虫的记录。在这里，对来自墨西哥东北部一个地区的三只白尾鹿（Odocoileus virginianus）的血液样本进行了血涂片、PCR 和 DNA 测序分析。结果首次证实了墨西哥白尾鹿中存在绵羊泰勒虫。
