Abstract
A near-term aborted bison (Bison bison) fetus was collected near Old F aithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (USA). On necrops y, the fetus liver had a small capsular tear, and there was a small qu antity of blood in the peritoneal cavity. Microscopic lesions included mild, purulent bronchopneumonia and mild, multifocal, interstitial pn eumonia. Brucella abortus biovar 1 was isolated from fetal abomasal co ntents, lung, and heart blood.
