Brucellosis/Tuberculosis

From Wildbison

Note: Studies concerned with brucellosis and tuberculosis in animals other than bison are relevant in regards to the disease status of the bison in Yellowstone and Wood Buffalo National Park and of interest to those concerned with the associated management issues. Research not specifically targeting bison are on this page, but not in the Collected Bibliography.''
