MORPHOPATHOLOGY OF CAPRINE TUBERCULOSIS. l. PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Abstract
Tuberculous lesions were found in the lung of 35 goats from the Region of Murcia (Spain). The animals were selected because of a positive reaction to de CTID test. Bacteriological analysis allowed the isolation of Mycobacterium bovis (10 animals) and M. tuberculosis (1 animal). In addition to lung lesions were found in other organs and different types of lymph nodes, depending on the degree of generalization of the disease. A primary complex was found in 5 animals (14.28%); early generalization was found in 12 animals (34.29%); organic-chronic tuberculosis was found in 14 animals (40%); and late generalization in 5 animals (14.28%). These data reveal that caprine tuberculosis has a high incidence in the Region of Murcia. thus indicating a potential risk of transmission of the disease to man.Downloads
