[ES] La tuberculosis es una enfermedad infecciosa altamente contagiosa en el ganado bovino o caprino y que sin embargo ha sido diagnosticada en muy raras ocasiones en el ganado ovino. En este trabajo se presentan los hallazgos preliminares observados en un rebaño mixto, formado por ovejas y cabras en el que un elevado número de ovejas presentaban adelgazamiento progresivo. En muestras procedentes de dos ovejas adultas con lesiones compatibles con tuberculosis se aisló Mycobacterium caprae. Un análisis posterior de en el rebaño determinó la presencia de una respuesta inmune celular específica frente a antígenos del complejo M. bovis en un número elevado de animales (12/27), sugiriendo que hasta el 40% de las ovejas de este rebaño podrían estar infectadas.
[EN] Tuberculosis is a highly contagious infectious disease of cattle and goats which has been seldom diagnosed in sheep. This study shows the preliminary findings in an extensively managed mixed flock formed by sheep and goats, where several ewes have shown progressive loss of weight and wool during the last moths. Mycobacterium caprae was cultured from samples taken during the necropsy of two sheep showing lesions consistent with tuberculosis. A subsequent investigation found a specific cellular immune response against M. bovis antigens in a high number of animals (12/27), suggesting that up to 40% of sheep from this flock could be infected.
