    Author: Steffen DJ, Oates DW, Sterner MC, Cooper VL.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1999 Jan; 35(1):105-7. PubMed ID: 10073357.
    Abstract:
    Lymph nodes from 271 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in Nebraska (USA) were examined microscopically for tuberculoid lesions. Lymph nodes lesions in at least one node were found in 12 deer. Lesions were examined with Zeihl-Neelson acid fast stains and by polymerase chain reactions using M. bovis specific probes. No evidence of tuberculosis was found. The small granulomatous lesions were likely caused by other bacteria.
