The deer ked (Lipoptena cervi) is distributed in Europe, North America and Siberia and mainly infests cervids as roe deer, fallow deer and moose. From a one health perspective, deer keds occasionally bite other animals or humans and are a potential vector for Bartonella schoenbuchensis. This bacterium belongs to a lineage of ruminant-associated Bartonella spp. and is suspected to cause dermatitis and febrile diseases in humans.

鹿虱蝇（Lipoptena cervi）的分布范围涵盖欧洲、北美及西伯利亚，其主要寄生于鹿科动物，包括狍、黇鹿与驼鹿。从同一健康（One Health）视角来看，鹿虱蝇偶尔会叮咬其他动物或人类，同时是舒恩巴尔通体（Bartonella schoenbuchensis）的潜在传播媒介。该细菌隶属于与反刍动物相关的巴尔通体（Bartonella spp.）类群，被推测可引发人类皮炎与发热性疾病。
