Outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease in captive reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus)
In September 2020, an outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease occurred in captive reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus) and was associated with neurological signs and mortality. Four reindeer died or were euthanized after acute illness over a 12-day period. Affected reindeer displayed abnormal behavior, n...
