The prevalence, distribution and pathology related to infection with Mycobacterium bovis and other mycobacteria were determined in trapped (n=36) and road-killed (n=121) badgers in Spain from 2006 to 2010. The prevalence of M. bovis based on bacteriological culture from road-killed badgers was 8/121 (6.6%) and from trapped badgers was 0/36 (0%). Tuberculosis/M. bovis infection was evident in 15/121 (12.4%) road-killed badgers when bacteriology and histopathology were combined. Mycobacterium avium complex was isolated by culture from the tracheal aspirate of 1/36 (2.8%) trapped badgers and from tissue pools from 8/121 (6.6%) road-killed badgers.
2006 年至 2010 年期间,在西班牙通过陷阱捕获(n=36)和道路死亡(n=121)的獾中,确定了与感染牛分枝杆菌和其他分枝杆菌相关的流行率、分布和病理学。根据对道路死亡獾的细菌培养,牛分枝杆菌的流行率为 8/121(6.6%),从陷阱捕获的獾中为 0/36(0%)。当结合细菌学和组织病理学检查时,15/121(12.4%)的道路死亡獾中存在结核病/牛分枝杆菌感染。从 36 只(2.8%)陷阱捕获的獾的气管抽吸物和 121 只(6.6%)道路死亡的獾的组织池中通过培养分离出鸟分枝杆菌复合群。
