Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease Hemorrhagic Disease is the most important infectious disease of white-tailed deer, and outbreaks occur almost every year in the Southeast. It is caused by either of two closely related viruses, epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus or bluetongue virus.
The disease is caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, that is carried by deer ticks. It often begins with an expanding zone of red skin â a symptom called erythema migrans â around the tick bite, but sometimes in other areas too. Fever, headaches, fatigue and aches and pains often follow.he disease is caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, that is carried by deer ticks.
