Detection of native interferon-γ in nyala (Tragelaphus angasii): Towards diagnosing tuberculosis
Mycobacterium bovis is the main cause of tuberculosis in wildlife. In South Africa, African buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) are a wildlife maintenance host while a number of other species are considered spillover hosts.

Wildlife-livestock interactions and risk areas for cross-species spread of bovine tuberculosis [PDF]
The transmission of diseases between livestock and wildlife can be a hindrance to effective disease control. Maintenance hosts and contact rates should be explored to further understand the transmission dynamics at the wildlife-livestock interface ...
