Abstract

Free-ranging wildlife, such as feral swine (Sus scrofa), harbor a variety of diseases that are transmissible to livestock and could negatively impact agricultural production. Information is needed regarding the exposure and infection rates of Mycobacterium bovis and many other diseases and parasites in feral swine occurring in the Texas border region. Our main objective was to determine exposure rates and possible infection rates of M. bovis in feral swine by opportunistically sampling animals from the Texas border region. From June to September 2010, we obtained samples from 396 feral swine and tested 98 samples for M. bovis by histopathology and mycobacteriologic culture. We found no evidence of M. bovis infection. We believe that it is important to periodically and strategically sample feral swine for M. bovis in high-risk areas of the United States because they are capable of becoming reservoirs of the disease.

摘要

自由放养的野生动物，如野猪（Sus scrofa），携带多种可传播给家畜的疾病，可能会对农业生产产生负面影响。关于德克萨斯边境地区野猪中牛分枝杆菌以及许多其他疾病和寄生虫的暴露率和感染率，我们需要相关信息。我们的主要目标是通过对德克萨斯边境地区的动物进行机会性采样，来确定野猪中牛分枝杆菌的暴露率和可能的感染率。2010年6月至9月，我们从396头野猪身上获取样本，并通过组织病理学和分枝杆菌培养对98个样本进行了牛分枝杆菌检测。我们没有发现牛分枝杆菌感染的证据。我们认为，在美国的高风险地区定期且有策略地对野猪进行牛分枝杆菌采样很重要，因为它们有可能成为该疾病的宿主。
