Romana Steinparzer et al. J Wildl Dis. .

Abstract

Mycobacterium caprae subtype Lechtal was detected in a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) shot by a hunter in 2018 in the western part of Austria, where, among wildlife, tuberculosis is known to occur in red deer (Cervus elaphus). The red fox showed a generalized (disseminated) manifestation of the disease and a multibacillary distribution of mycobacteria in the inner organs.
