Mycobacterium bovis infection in wild red foxes was found in southern France, where livestock and other wildlife species are infected. Foxes frequently interact with cattle but have been underestimated as a reservoir of M. bovis. Our results suggest a possible role of the red fox in the epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis.
在法国南部，发现了感染牛分枝杆菌的野生赤狐，那里的牲畜和其他野生动物物种也受到感染。狐狸经常与牛接触，但作为牛分枝杆菌的储存宿主，狐狸的作用一直被低估。我们的研究结果表明，赤狐可能在牛结核病的流行病学中发挥作用。
