Tuberculosis in Antelopes in a Zoo in Poland - Problem of Public Health
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2015, Vol 64, Issue 4
Abstract
[i]Bovine tuberculosis[/i] is an infectious disease that occurs in many species of both domestic and wild animals, as well as those held in captivity. The etiological factor is the acid resistant bacillus ([i]Mycobacterium bovis [/i]or[i] Mycobacterium caprae[/i]), which is characterized by the major pathogenicity among mycobacteria belonging to the [i]Mycobacterium tuberculosis [/i]complex. The material from 8 antelopes from the zoo, suspected for tuberculosis were examined, and [i]M. bovis[/i] strains were isolated from 6 of them. The spoligotyping method showing spoligo pattern 676763777777600. In Poland, this spoligotype has not been observed so far.
