Ítem Molecular evidence for Mycobacterium bovis infection in wild Chilean hawk (Accipiter chilensis)(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2018) Moroni, Manuel; Salgado, Miguel; Albornoz, Alejandro; Tejeda, Carlos; Alvarado-Rybak, MarioThe present study reports a case of tuberculosis in a juvenile Chilean hawk (Accipiter chilensis). Granulomas were identified in the liver, intestine and mesentery. Several of these granulomas contained acid-fast bacilli suggesting a mycobacterial infection through ingestion. Molecular diagnosis detected Mycobacterium bovis as etiological agent. Whether M. bovis infection in this Chilean hawk represents a risk for other wildlife, livestock or humans remains to be determined. © 2017 Austral journal of veterinary sciences. All rights reserved.
