Social group size affects Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles) [PDF]

, 2009
1. In most social animals, the prevalence of directly transmitted pathogens increases in larger groups and at higher population densities. Such patterns are predicted by models of Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles). 2.
