Systemic tuberculosis by MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS in a free-ranging MARSICAN brown bear ( URSUS ARCTOS MARSICANUS ): a Case report
2019
Background
Mycobacterium bovis is known to have a wide host range and has been isolated from numerous free-ranging wildlife species, carnivores included. In bears, M. bovis has been previously reported only from a culture of pooled lymph nodes of a black bear (Ursus americanus) in the absence of lesions. The aims of this study were to describe gross and microscopic pathological findings of M. bovis tuberculosis in a deceased Marsican brown bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus).
