Red deerpox virus (RDPV) is a species of virus in the genus Parapoxvirus.[1] It has been reported in deer in New Zealand,[2] and in wild ruminants in Italy.[1]
In 1987, deaths among infected deer occurred on two Red Deer farms in New Zealand where secondary bacterial infections were seen alongside the lesions. In these particular cases, morbidity rates reached 100%.[3][4]
