We diagnosed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in captive lemurs and a fossa in Antananarivo, Madagascar. We noted clinical signs in the animals and found characteristic lesions during necropsy. The source of infection remains unknown. Our results illustrate the potential for reverse zoonotic infections and intraspecies transmission of tuberculosis in captive wildlife.
我们在马达加斯加首都塔那那利佛的圈养狐猴和一种袋鼬中诊断出结核分枝杆菌。我们在动物身上注意到临床症状,并在剖检时发现了特征性病变。感染源尚不清楚。我们的结果表明,圈养野生动物中存在反向人畜共患病感染和结核分枝杆菌种内传播的可能性。
