title: [Marginal notes on the paper on tuberculosis among Japanese deer in a deer-park in Goes (author's transl)].
abstract: A few marginal notes and a review of the literature on tuberculosis among Cervidae with reference to the outbreak of tuberculosis among Japanese deer in a deer-park recently established in Goes, which was detected by the Animal Health Service in the Province of Zealand in 1971. Particular attention is paid to recent enzootics of bovine as well as of avian tuberculosis. This shows that restrictions on commercial and barter transactions, to be imposed by the authorities, are required. The fact is also stressed that methods of prevention and treatment adopted in ruminants in zoological gardens are contra-indicated. If the breeding of particular species of deer should expand because of the growing demand for venison, some supervision by or in behalf of the authorities would appear to be essential. As the method adopted in the treatment of ruminants is not sure to be definitely successful, this procedure, like vaccination, should be dispensed with.
