Animal tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease caused by acid-fast bacteria belonging to the complex (MTBC). Both animals and humans are susceptible to infection by the MTBC. Interspecies transmission is also possible, including to livestock and humans. In the years 1997-2013, many tuberculosis cases were recorded in European bison in the Bieszczady Mountains; more alarmingly, TB was also recorded in wild boar in the years 2013-2020.
In the years 2013-2020, 104 wild boar from the Bieszczady Mountains were tested for TB through necropsy, mycobacterial culture, strain identification and spoligotyping.
The microbiological examination confirmed TB in 46 wild boar; these infections were identified as , spoligotype SB2391.
Free-living European bison are at risk of TB infection from wild boar carrying . This situation also poses a risk to local cattle. There is a need for further activities aimed at monitoring the disease, preventing further transmission, and minimising the risk to public health.
动物结核病是一种人畜共患病，由属于结核分枝杆菌复合群（MTBC）的抗酸细菌引起。动物和人类都易受MTBC感染。种间传播也是可能的，包括传播给家畜和人类。在1997年至2013年期间，比谢扎迪山的欧洲野牛记录了许多结核病病例；更令人担忧的是，在2013年至2020年期间野猪中也记录到了结核病。
在2013年至2020年期间，对来自比谢扎迪山的104头野猪进行了结核病检测，检测方法包括尸检、分枝杆菌培养、菌株鉴定和间隔寡核苷酸分型。
微生物学检查证实46头野猪感染结核病；这些感染被鉴定为，间隔寡核苷酸分型为SB2391。
自由放养的欧洲野牛面临感染携带结核菌的野猪的风险。这种情况也给当地牛群带来风险。有必要开展进一步活动，旨在监测该疾病、防止进一步传播并将对公众健康的风险降至最低。
