这个案例研究证实了嗜尸蝇和白尾鹿之间的相互作用。唐纳氏弗吉尼亚，在德克萨斯州西部爆发的炭疽热中（2005年夏天）通过培养和PCR从一个鹿场的鹿尸体上收集的8个混合蝇中的一个中鉴定出炭疽芽孢杆菌，该鹿场具有良好的炭疽历史记录。这些结果提供了第一个已知的从肉中分离出B炭疽芽孢杆菌的方法。吃苍蝇与野生动物炭疽病爆发在北美，并讨论了野生动物生态学的背景下，炭疽流行病学。
This case study confirms the interaction between necrophilic flies and white-tailed deer. downer's virginianus, during an anthrax outbreak in West Texas (summer 2005) Bacillus anthracis was identified by culture and PCR from one of eight pooled fly collections from deer carcasses on a deer ranch with a well-documented history of anthrax These results provide the first known isolation of B anthracis from flesh-eating flies associated with a wildlife anthrax outbreak in North America and are discussed in the context of wildlife ecology, and anthrax epizootics.
