title: Human Mycobacterium bovis infection and bovine tuberculosis outbreak, Michigan, 1994-2007.
abstract: Mycobacterium bovis is endemic in Michigan's white-tailed deer and has been circulating since 1994. The strain circulating in deer has remained genotypically consistent and was recently detected in 2 humans. We summarize the investigation of these cases and confirm that recreational exposure to deer is a risk for infection in humans.
