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.
Hemorrhagic colitis can occur in people of all ages but is most common among children and older people. There are many strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) that cause hemorrhagic colitis. In North America, the most common strain is E. coli O157:H7. These bacteria naturally occur in the intestines of healthy cattle. Outbreaks can be caused by eating undercooked ground beef or by drinking unpasteurized milk or juice.
