Postmortem examination of a wild Asian elephant at Rajiv Gandhi National Park, India, revealed nodular lesions, granulomas with central caseation, and acid-fast bacilli in the lungs. PCR and nucleotide sequencing confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study indicates that wild elephants can harbor M. tuberculosis that can become fatal.
对印度拉吉夫·甘地国家公园一头野生亚洲象的尸检显示，其肺部有结节性病变、伴有中央干酪样坏死的肉芽肿以及抗酸杆菌。聚合酶链反应（PCR）和核苷酸测序证实存在结核分枝杆菌。这项研究表明，野生大象可能携带可致命的结核分枝杆菌。
