Abstract
Serum samples collected from 2365 free-roaming hybrid bison (Bison bison bison x B. bison athabascae) in Wood Buffalo National Park and adjacent areas in the Northwest Territories were tested for brucellosis during the period 1959-1974. A positive reaction was obtained in 739 (31.2%) of the animals tested. The overall effect of brucellosis on this free-roaming bison population is unknown. The authors also dealt with some of the actual and possible consequences of the disease in this population.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
