A detailed investigation of the possible role of wild mammals, other than badgers, in the maintenance of Mycobacterium bovis in an area on the South Downs of East Sussex was carried out over 3 years. Estimates of population sizes were made where possible and minimum sample sizes were selected to be 95% certain of including at least one infected animal if the prevalence was at least 5%. Samples of wild mammals were taken from populations which had the highest potential direct or indirect contact rate with known infected badgers. M. bovis was not isolated from any of the 15 species of wild mammals. It was concluded that badgers are able to maintain M. bovis in an area independently of other species, and that in the area studied other species were not a source of infection for the cattle herds.
在三年时间里，对东萨塞克斯郡南唐斯地区除獾以外的野生哺乳动物在维持牛分枝杆菌方面可能发挥的作用进行了详细调查。在可能的情况下对种群数量进行了估计，并选择最小样本量，以确保如果患病率至少为5%，则有95%的把握至少包含一只感染动物。从与已知感染獾有最高潜在直接或间接接触率的种群中采集野生哺乳动物样本。在15种野生哺乳动物中均未分离出牛分枝杆菌。得出的结论是，獾能够在一个地区独立于其他物种维持牛分枝杆菌，并且在所研究的地区，其他物种不是牛群的感染源。
