“…Disease surveillance has an essential role in the management of wild animals in captivity. Zoo animals are susceptible to a wide range of infectious agents, due to their closer contact with humans and other captive animals, as well as their confinement in herds, depending on the species (MURAKAMI et al, 2012). Moreover, living conditions in captivity differ greatly from the conditions of animals living in the wild.…”

A large number of Brazilian zoos keep many endangered species of deer, however, very few disease surveillance studies have been conducted among captive cervids. Blood samples from 32 Brazilian deer (Blastocerus dichotomus, Mazama nana and Mazama americana) kept in captivity at Bela Vista Biological Sanctuary (Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil) were investigated for 10 ruminant pathogens, with the aims of monitoring deer health status and evaluating any potential zoonotic risk. Deer serum samples were tested for Brucella abortus, Leptospira (23 serovars), Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, bovine viral diarrhea virus, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, western equine encephalitis virus, eastern equine encephalitis virus and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. Antibodies against T. gondii (15.6%), N. caninum (6.2%) and L. interrogans serogroup Serjoe (3.1%) were detected. The serological results for all other infectious agents were negative. The deer were considered to be clinically healthy and asymptomatic regarding any disease. Compared with studies on free-ranging deer, the prevalences of the same agents tested among the captive deer kept at the Sanctuary were lower, thus indicating good sanitary conditions and high-quality management practices at the zoo.

“…Livestock and wildlife interactions that could contribute to the spread of bTB often occur at the interface of human activities, such as agricultural expansion, livestock grazing, and habitat encroachment into wildlife areas, which occur in multiple rural areas of Colombia [81]. In other countries in Latin America, such as Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, this has been more comprehensively approached by researchers [81][82][83][84].…”

Introduction: Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease of significant impact, particularly in countries where a pastoral economy is predominant. Despite its importance, few studies have analysed the disease’s behaviour in Colombia, and none have developed maps using geographic information systems (GIS) to characterise it; as such, we developed this study to describe the temporal–spatial distribution of bovine tuberculosis in Colombia over a period of 19 years. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study, based on reports by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), surveillance of tuberculosis on cattle farms in Colombia from 2001 to 2019 was carried out. The data were converted into databases using Microsoft Access 365®, and multiple epidemiological maps were generated with the QGIS® version 3.36 software coupled to shape files of all the country’s departments. Results: During the study period, 5273 bovine tuberculosis cases were identified in multiple different departments of Colombia (with a mean of 278 cases/year). Regarding its temporal distribution, the number of cases varied from a maximum of 903 cases (17.12% of the total) in 2015 to a minimum of 0 between 2001 and 2004 and between 2017 and 2019 (between 2005 and 2016, the minimum was 46 cases, 0.87%). Conclusions: GIS are essential for understanding the temporospatial behaviour of zoonotic diseases in Colombia, as is the case for bovine tuberculosis, with its potential implications for the Human and One Health approaches.

“…In addition, regulation of the diagnosis of TB in wild animals would have an impact on reducing outbreaks that may occur through sale or trade of infected animals. The many outbreaks seen in Brazilian captive populations over the years (Ikuta et al., 2018; Murakami, Monego, Ho, Gibson, De Castro Vilani et al., 2012; Murakami, Monego, Ho, Gibson, Javorouski et al., 2012; Rocha et al., 2011; Zimpel et al., 2017), along with the one reported herein, should form the rationale necessary to develop this nationwide plan to control and report TB in wildlife, as also suggested previously (Valvassoura & Ferreira Neto, 2014). Notwithstanding, for these policies to become effective, it is necessary to integrate federal and state surveillance services and environmental regulatory agencies.…”

“…In Brazil, despite the rare bTB detection in free‐ranging wildlife (Maciel et al., 2018), reports of M. bovis infecting captive wild animals are frequent (Ikuta et al., 2018; Murakami, Monego, Ho, Gibson, De Castro Vilani et al., 2012; Rocha et al., 2011; Zimpel et al., 2017). The source of infection to these zoo animals, however, remains elusive.…”

We report on a 15‐year‐long outbreak of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in wildlife from a Brazilian safari park. A timeline of diagnostic events and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) of 21 Mycobacterium bovis isolates from deer and llamas were analyzed. Accordingly, from 2003 to 2018, at least 16 animals, from eight species, died due to TB, which is likely an underestimated number. In three occasions since 2013, the deer presented positive tuberculin tests, leading to the park closure and culling of all deer. WGS indicated that multiple M. bovis strains were circulating, with at least three founding introductions since the park inauguration in 1977. Using a previously sequenced dataset of 71 M. bovis genomes from cattle, we found no recent transmission events between nearby farms and the park based on WGS. Lastly, by discussing socio‐economic and environmental factors escaping current regulatory gaps that were determinant of this outbreak, we pledge for the development of a plan to report and control bTB in wildlife in Brazil.
