We demonstrate Mycobacterium bovis infection in wild boar ( Sus scrofa ) in South Korea. During 2012-15, we attempted to isolate M. bovis from 847 wild animals, mainly Korean water deer ( Hydropotes inermis argyropus), raccoon dogs ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ), and wild boar, from 11 regions in South Korea. We isolated M. bovis from three of 118 wild boar (2.5%) captured in Gyeonggi Province, where bovine tuberculosis (bTB) outbreaks have also occurred in livestock. Spoligotypes and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units-variable number tandem repeats types of these M. bovis isolates (SB0140 and SB1040, 4-2-3-3-7-5-5-4-4-3-4-3 and 5-2-3-3-7-5-5-4-3-10-5-2; MIRU4, MIRU16, MIRU27, MIRU31, ETR-A, ETR-B, ETR-C, QUB11b, QUB26, QUB3336, VNTR2401, and VNTR3171) have also been identified from farmed livestock such as cattle ( Bos taurus coreanae), Formosan sika deer ( Cervus nippon taiouanus), and American elk ( Cervus canadensis ) in the country. In South Korea, bTB appears to be endemic in livestock, and there are numerous opportunities for contact between wild boar and livestock due to high population densities and broad activity ranges. Our results support the hypothesis that M. bovis is transmitted between domestic and wild animals.
我们证实了韩国野猪（Sus scrofa）感染了牛分枝杆菌。在2012年至2015年期间，我们试图从韩国11个地区的847只野生动物中分离牛分枝杆菌，这些野生动物主要是獐（Hydropotes inermis argyropus）、貉（Nyctereutes procyonoides）和野猪。我们从京畿道捕获的118头野猪中的3头（2.5%）分离出了牛分枝杆菌，该地区的家畜也曾发生过牛结核病（bTB）疫情。这些牛分枝杆菌分离株的寡核苷酸分型及分枝杆菌散布重复单位可变数目串联重复序列类型（SB0140和SB1040，4-2-3-3-7-5-5-4-4-3-4-3和5-2-3-3-7-5-5-4-3-10-5-2；MIRU4、MIRU16、MIRU27、MIRU31、ETR-A、ETR-B、ETR-C、QUB11b、QUB26、QUB3336、VNTR2401和VNTR3171）也在该国的养殖家畜如韩牛（Bos taurus coreanae）、梅花鹿（Cervus nippon taiouanus）和北美马鹿（Cervus canadensis）中被鉴定出来。在韩国，bTB似乎在家畜中呈地方性流行，由于种群密度高和活动范围广，野猪与家畜之间有许多接触机会。我们的结果支持牛分枝杆菌在 domestic 和野生动物之间传播这一假说。 （注：原文中domestic可能有误，推测应为domesticated，意为家养的，这里暂且按domestic翻译为“家养的”）
