Abstract

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a widespread disease known to affect livestock and wildlife, as well as humans. However, its incidence in wildlife remains poorly recognized on the global level. In Europe, the majority of TB cases have been confirmed in red deer, badgers and wild boar.

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the occurrence of TB in Cervidae in Poland, in areas where TB has been detected in cattle and wildlife.

Material and methods: Head and thoracic lymph nodes were collected from a total of 76 free-living red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), from nine Polish provinces during a single hunting season (autumn - winter 2018-19). Samples were subjected to conventional microbiological procedures to isolate mycobacteria.

Results: No Mycobacteria was isolated in the material collected from red or roe deer.

Conclusions: There is a need to continue monitoring the presence of TB in cattle and other animal species to ensure the protection of public health.

在波兰不同地区的宫颈样本中未发现结核分枝杆菌复合感染的证据。

结核病(TB)是一种广泛传播的疾病，已知会影响牲畜和野生动物以及人类。然而，其在野生动物中的发病率在全球范围内仍未得到充分认识。在欧洲，大多数结核病例已被证实发生在马鹿、獾和野猪身上。目的:本研究的目的是检查波兰在牛和野生动物中发现结核病的地区Cervidae的结核病发生情况。材料和方法:在一个狩猎季节(2018- 2019秋冬)，从波兰9个省的76只自由生活的马鹿(Cervus elaphus)和狍子(Capreolus Capreolus Capreolus)身上收集头部和胸部淋巴结。样品采用常规微生物程序分离分枝杆菌。结果:从赤鹿和狍子中均未分离到分枝杆菌。结论:有必要继续监测牛和其他动物物种中结核病的存在，以确保保护公众健康。
