- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 2.5-year-old captive-born bull that was found to have Mycobacterium bovis strain. A series of ante- and postmortem tuberculosis tests were carried out after the detection of M. bovis in order to examine the distribution and prevalence of the disease in the herd where the bull belonged. The article discusses the bovine tuberculosis outbreak in the Hook Lake Wood Bison Recovery Project captive-breeding herd in March 2005, considering the source of M. bovis.
