title: An outbreak of bovine tuberculosis in an intensively managed conservation herd of wild bison in the Northwest Territories.
abstract: An outbreak of bovine tuberculosis was detected in the Hook Lake Wood Bison Recovery Project captive-breeding herd in March 2005. This study investigates the most likely source of Mycobacterium bovis and identifies difficulties associated with salvaging tuberculosis-free animals from an endemically infected herd.
