In 1993, an epizootic of adenovirus hemorrhagic disease (AHD) caused the death of at least 1,000 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in California, US. Since then, numerous cervid species throughout the US have had deaths confirmed to be caused by AHD. In 2015, the death of two captive moose (Alces americanus gigas) calves marked the first recognized AHD-caused deaths in Alaska, a state in which moose are important economically as well as for food security and cultural identity. Both cases were characterized by systemic vasculitis with endothelial cell intranuclear inclusion bodies, pulmonary edema, petechial hemorrhages, and enterotyphlocolitis.
