Maternal Antibody to Jamestown Canyon Virus in White-Tailed Deer*

White-tailed deer fawns (Odocoileus virginianus) were obtained in Wisconsin to study their role in the epizootiology of Jamestown Canyon (JC) virus—a California group arbovirus. Ninety-two percent (35 of 38) of the fawns had pre-existing antibodies which specifically neutralized JC virus. These antibodies were determined to be colostral in origin, persisted for approximately 8 to 23 weeks (mean of 19), and protected the fawns against primary infection with JC virus.

Accepted for publication August 13, 1973.
