在格洛斯特郡的野生獾中发现了结核病病灶; 1971年4月至1973年4月期间检查的165只獾尸体中有36只，112只粪便样本中有12只感染了牛分枝杆菌。在23个不同的地点发现了受感染的粪便或尸体。其中17个地点要么在农场范围内，要么在距离牛群半英里的范围内，结核病是一个持续存在的问题。獾作为一个水库结核病在格洛斯特郡的可能作用进行了讨论。
Lesions of tuberculosis were found in wild badgers in Gloucestershire; 36 of 165 badger carcases, and 12 of 112 faeces samples examined between April, 1971, and April, 1973, were infected with Mycobacterium bovis. Infected faeces or carcases were found in 23 separate locations. Seventeen of these locations were either within the farm boundaries or within half-a-mile of cattle herds in which tuberculosis was a persistent problem. The possible role of badgers as a reservoir of tuberculosis in Gloucestershire is discussed.
