Wild ruminants often harbor pathogens transmissible to other animals and humans, but their epidemiological role is not always defined for all microorganisms. In this survey, spleens, kidneys, hearts sampled from 162 fallow deer (Dama dama) were subjected molecular analyses detect bacterial (Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., Brucella spp., Chlamydia abortus, Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, Leptospira spp.) protozoan (piroplasms, Neospora caninum, Toxoplasma gondii) pathogens. Five (3.08%) spleens positive A. twelve (7.40%) Theileria cervi. The remaining investigated detected, no coinfections found. analyzed do seem have a relevant in the spreading of these pathogens; however, monitoring pivotal understand scenarios take appropriate preventive measures areas frequently visited by people.
