These diseases are restricted to regions where their vectors exist and seem to be expanding to previously unaffected areas. Infection of wild and domestic ruminants is common. Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes severe clinical disease in certain breeds of sheep; BTV and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) cause clinical disease in some species of deer.enCoordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and PreventionRusa deer (Cervus timorensis rusa)Orbiviruses -- MauritiusCervus timorensis -- Diseases -- MauritiusArticle
