Abstract:
An infection of a young male roe deer caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae with a pronounced thrombotic endocarditis in the left valves and focal necrosis in the septum of the heart leading to bacterial sepsis is described. Findings of this kind are extremely rare in roe deer. However, they document the wide host range, which is also illustrated by the numerous publications on such infections in other species.
