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.

Famous quotes containing the word illness:

    Thou wouldst be great;
    Art not without ambition, but without
    The illness should attend it. What thou wouldst highly
    That wouldst thou holily; wouldst not play false,
    And yet wouldst wrongly win.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
