Tuberculosis in badgers (Meles meles)

Veterinary Microbiology, 1994
This review examines the incidence of tuberculosis in badgers, the pathogenesis and diagnosis of the disease in the badger, and the control prospects related to spread of tuberculosis from badgers to cattle.

The Immobilization of the Badger ( Meles Meles )

British Veterinary Journal, 1976
SUMMARY The development of a safe method for the tranquillization and immobilization of the badger, (Meles meles) is described. Over a period of 8 months, 31 badgers were immobilized on 146 occasions using one of the following agents: etorphine hydrochloride with methotrimeprazine; halothane; ketamine hydrochloride and acepromazine.

Parvovirus enteritis in Eurasian badgers ( Meles meles )

Veterinary Record, 2012
A number of potential enteropathogens have been identified in Eurasian badgers in Great Britain. These include protozoa such as Eimeria melis , Isospora melis (Anwar and others 2000) and Giardia species (Barlow and others 2011), Helminths (Hancox 1980, Jones and others 1980), and salmonellae (Wray and others 1977, Euden 1990, Wilson and others 2003 ...

Giardiosis in Eurasian badgers ( Meles meles )

Veterinary Record, 2010
WE would like to report the presence of Giardia species together with other pathogens causing enteritis and death in badger cubs. Diarrhoea and deaths were reported in a group of badger cubs at a wildlife centre. The cubs were submitted to the centre having been orphaned.

Disseminated histoplasmosis in a badger (Meles meles) in Denmark

APMIS, 1992
We report the first case of disseminated histoplasmosis in an animal in Scandinavia. Yeast cells compatible with those of Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum were found in the skin, liver, spleen, a kidney, and a lymph node of a wild badger (Meles meles). The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining of the yeast

Ventilation of badger Meles meles setts

Mammalian Biology, 2003
Summary Air currents were recorded at 44 separate underground locations in 12 badger Meles meles setts (five ‘main setts’ and seven ‘outliers’). Within-sett air movements were strongly positively correlated with, but were from one to three orders of magnitude slower than, corresponding external wind speeds. Within-sett air movements were significantly

Vaccination of the badger (Meles meles) against Mycobacterium bovis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1996
This review summarizes current knowledge relating to the potential development of a vaccine against Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) for use in badgers. The serious economic loss incurred from bovine tuberculosis in Ireland is highlighted. The problems presented to national bovine tuberculosis eradication programmes by wildlife reservoirs of M bovis, in ...

Allozyme variation in the Eurasian badgerMeles melesin Denmark

Journal of Zoology, 2000
AbstractGenetic diversity in four populations of the Eurasian badgerMeles melesfrom Denmark was estimated by allozyme electrophoresis. Low genetic variability was found within populations as compared to the variability found in badger populations from other countries, whereas significant genetic differentiation was found between populations.

Tuberculosis in wild badgers (Meles meles) in Gloucestershire: pathology

Veterinary Record, 1976
The gross and histological appearances of the lesions of tuberculosis in 36 wild badgers found to be infected with Mycobacterium bovis are described. These badgers were examined over a period of two years during an investigation into the possible epidemiological association of tuberculosis in badgers and cattle. The possible significance of the lesions

Response of the badger (Meles meles) to infection with Brucella abortus

Research in Veterinary Science, 1983
Three badgers exposed to conjunctival instillation of Brucella abortus strain 544 developed a mild subclinical infection accompanied by the production of agglutinating and complement fixing antibodies. Six months after inoculation, the infection could not be detected in one badger and was confined to lymphoid tissue in the other two.
