Bison - Infections and Illness

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.

    “To you illness is negligible. You have learned that you can dominate yourself. You know that your body lags, but your soul proceeds upon its triumphant way.”
