African buffalo movement and zoonotic disease risk across transfrontier conservation areas, Southern Africa
Caron A., Cornélis D., Foggin C., Hofmeyr M., De Garine-Wichatitsky M.. 2016. Emerging Infectious Diseases, 22 (2) : p. 277-280.
We report on the long-distance movements of subadult female buffalo within a Transfrontier Conservation Area in Africa. Our observations confirm that bovine tuberculosis and other diseases can spread between buffalo populations across national parks, community land, and countries, thus posing a risk to animal and human health in surrounding wildlife areas.
