Disseminated histoplasmosis in a badger (Meles meles) in Denmark
APMIS, 1992We 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, 2003Summary 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, 1996This 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, 2000AbstractGenetic 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, 1976The 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, 1983Three 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.

Activity of badgers (Meles meles) in Central Poland
Mammalian Biology, 2005Summary A four-year study of badger activity was carried out in central Poland (54°48'N, 19°53'E) with the aid of radio tracking, winter tracking, sett inspections and direct observation of the animals. The daily activity of badgers varied considerably in the course of a year.

SETT USE IN EUROPEAN BADGERS MELES MELES
Behaviour, 2001AbstractThe European badger Meles meles constructs burrows of two basic types: 'main setts' and 'outliers'. We examined daytime burrow use year-round in 19 radio-collared badgers belonging to six different social groups, in order to test the hypotheses relating use of multiple sleeping sites to ectoparasite avoidance and social status.
