Abstract
We tested 3 ild Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in southern India and confirmed infection in 3 animals with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an obligate human pathogen, by PCR and genetic sequencing. Our results indicate that tuberculosis may be spilling over from humans (reverse zoonosis) and emerging in wild elephants.
摘要
我们在印度南部对3头圈养亚洲象（印度象）进行了检测，通过聚合酶链式反应（PCR）和基因测序，证实这3头大象感染了结核分枝杆菌，这是一种专性人类病原体。我们的结果表明，结核病可能正从人类身上溢出（反向人畜共患病）并在野生大象中出现。
