Declarations
:
: The work presented in this manuscript required no ethical approval. Deer culling was carried out as management operations independently from this research and appropriate permissions were obtained prior to sample collection. All samples were accessed opportunistically and as regulated by the “Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes 8th Edition 2013 (updated 2021)”, animal ethic permits are only required for sampling of live animals or when animals are euthanised as part of the study because there are no welfare concerns on sampling individuals that are already deceased.
