Recreational hunting of indigenous wild artiodactyls has been one of the most lucrative and rapidly growing industries in Western Spain over the last five years. In the absence of careful ecological management, one consequence of the commercial exploitation of this natural resource has been the appearance of outbreaks of infectious disease; most notably bovine tuberculosis. From the outset of the study in 1997, we have observed a steady increase in prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in both species reaching 1.74 (+/-0.17) in deer in 2002 and 2.32 (+/-0.24) in wild boar. The latter species seems to be most severely affected with pulmonary lesions appearing more chronic than those observed in deer. In this study, we describe the epidemiology of M. bovis in European wild boar (Sus scrofa) and Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) in Extremadura (W. Spain); a region where there are large areas of natural habitat for these species.
在过去五年中，对本地野生偶蹄动物的休闲狩猎一直是西班牙西部最赚钱且发展迅速的行业之一。在缺乏谨慎的生态管理的情况下，对这种自然资源进行商业开发的一个后果就是传染病疫情的出现；最显著的是牛结核病。从1997年研究开始，我们观察到牛分枝杆菌（M. bovis）在这两个物种中的患病率稳步上升，2002年鹿中的患病率达到1.74（±0.17），野猪中的患病率达到2.32（±0.24）。后一个物种似乎受影响最严重，肺部病变比在鹿中观察到的更具慢性特征。在本研究中，我们描述了西班牙西部埃斯特雷马杜拉地区欧洲野猪（Sus scrofa）和伊比利亚马鹿（Cervus elaphus hispanicus）中牛分枝杆菌的流行病学情况；该地区有大片适合这些物种生存的自然栖息地。
