Warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) have been implicated as potential maintenance hosts of Mycobacterium bovis. Our preliminary investigation of bovine tuberculosis in three warthogs describes pathologic findings and associated positive serologic results in two infected animals. This demonstrates the potential use of serodiagnostic tests for M. bovis infection in this species.
疣猪(非洲疣猪属)被认为是牛分枝杆菌的潜在维持宿主。我们对三只疣猪的牛结核病进行的初步调查描述了两只受感染动物的病理结果及相关的血清学阳性结果。这表明血清学诊断试验在该物种牛分枝杆菌感染检测中的潜在用途。
