| Tuberculosis in an Iberian lynx (_Lynx pardina_) | |
| 2001 Veterinary Record (148): 414-415 | |
Tuberculosis has been described occasionally in wild felines in their natural habitat for example, in feral cats from New Zealand, in two African lionesses and in a cheetah from the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Some cases have also been reported from lions and leopards from zoo collections. Recently, _Mycobacterium bovis_ was identified by PCR from samples of the right elbow of an adult Iberian lynx from the Do¤ana National Park (Briones and others 2000). This short communication describes the necropsy findings of the same lynx. |
