Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (EHDV) is a viral infection that primarily affects deer, particularly white-tailed deer. It is transmitted by biting midges, which are small insects. The disease can cause severe symptoms, including fever, swelling, and internal bleeding, leading to high mortality rates in affected populations. EHDV is part of the Bunyaviridae family and has several serotypes. While it poses a significant threat to wildlife, it is not known to infect humans or domestic animals. Monitoring and management efforts are essential to control outbreaks and protect deer populations from this disease.
