Infections and Illness
The main cause of illness in bison is malignant catarrhal fever (MCF). However, American bison, especially the Yellowstone Park Bison Herd are noted to also get infected with Brucellosis. Bison in the Antelope Island Bison Herd are regularly inoculated against brucellosis, parasites, clostridium, infectious bovine rhino tracheitis and bovine vibriosis.

Famous quotes containing the word illness:
“Men have their own questions, and they differ from those of mothers. New mothers are more interested in nutrition and vulnerability to illness while fathers tend to ask about when they can take their babies out of the house or how much sleep babies really need.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
