Trombidiosis-induced dermatitis in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

S. E. Little, K. P. Carmichael and P. M. Rakich

During a routine blood collection at a wildlife management checkpoint, several white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) from Lake Russell Wildlife Management Area, Habersham County, Georgia, were observed to have accumulations of orange granular material around the eyes and mouth accompanied by serous exudate, crusting, and alopecia. Microscopic examination of the granular material disclosed numerous larval mites of the family Trombiculidae. Histologic examination revealed severe chronic diffuse plasmacytic dermatitis with intralesional larval trombiculid mites. Several stylostomes were also identified in the tissue sections. This paper describes the gross and histologic changes associated with severe trombiculid infestation in a white-tailed deer and suggests potential causes for this unusual finding.
