R. Woods et al., TUBERCULOSIS IN A WILD AUSTRALIAN FUR-SEAL (ARCTOCEPHALUS-PUSILLUS DORIFERUS) FROM TASMANIA, Journal of wildlife diseases, 31(1), 1995, pp. 83-86
Tuberculosis was found in a wild, mature male Australian fur seal (Arc
tocephalus pusillus doriferus) at Hobart, Tasmania on 8 March 1992. We
observed fibrogranulomatous and pyogranulomatous lesions in the lung,
pleura, lymph nodes and spleen. The SDS/PAGE profile of this Tasmania
n isolate was similar to other seal strains; however, differences were
detected using pTBN12 and insertion sequence IS6110 probes.
