Setaria tundra is known as a common parasite of sylvatic ungulates in Northern latitudes. Although mostly considered of low pathogenicity, severe disease outbreaks and remarkable economic losses have been observed in reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). Host density and climatic factors are major drivers of the expansion of Setaria spp. facilitating their development and spread. Five adult specimens of S. tundra were retrieved from a male roe deer in Bavaria, Germany. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) barcoding confirmed morphological identification. Cyclooxygenase 1 gene sequences showed 98,73-99,68 % similarity to sequences of other S. tundra specimens found in deer (Cervidae) and mosquitoes (Culicidae). The results raise awareness for the presence of S. tundra in a hitherto unkown endemic region and represent a starting point for broader investigations to understand the biology and distribution of this parasite in roe deer as well as other potential definitive hosts.
草地贪夜蛾被称为北方高纬度地区森林有蹄类动物的常见寄生虫。尽管草地贪夜蛾通常被认为是低致病性的，但在驯鹿（Rangifer tarandus tarandus）中已经观察到严重的疾病爆发和显著的经济损失。宿主密度和气候因素是促进草地贪夜蛾生长和传播的主要驱动因素。从德国巴伐利亚州的一只雄性獐鹿中分离出了 5 只成年的草地贪夜蛾。脱氧核糖核酸（DNA）条形码确认了形态鉴定。环氧化酶 1 基因序列与在鹿科（Cervidae）和蚊科（Culicidae）中发现的其他草地贪夜蛾标本的序列具有 98.73-99.68%的相似性。这些结果表明，在一个迄今未知的地方性地区存在草地贪夜蛾，并为更广泛地研究这种寄生虫在獐鹿以及其他潜在的终末宿主中的生物学和分布提供了起点。
