Lymph nodes from 271 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Nebraska (USA) were examined microscopically for tuberculoid lesions. Lymph nodes lesions in at least one node were found in 12 deer. Lesions were examined with Zeihl-Neelson acid fast stains and by polymerase chain reactions using M. bovis specific probes. No evidence of tuberculosis was found. The small granulomatous lesions were likely caused by other bacteria.
对美国内布拉斯加州271头白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚鹿）和骡鹿（黑尾鹿）的淋巴结进行了显微镜检查，以查找结核样病变。在12头鹿身上发现至少一个淋巴结有病变。对病变组织进行了齐-尼抗酸染色检查，并使用牛分枝杆菌特异性探针进行聚合酶链反应检测。未发现结核病迹象。这些小肉芽肿性病变可能是由其他细菌引起的。
