dc.description.abstract | Recently, the survival of Mycobacterium bovis on livestock mineral blocks has been confrmed, but little is known about its
implication in the transmission of animal tuberculosis (TB) under feld conditions. The objective of this study was to describe
the shared use of mineral supplements in four extensive beef cattle farms from a high TB prevalence area in South Central
Spain, to identify the main factors explaining their use, and characterize its potential role for the transmission of Mycobac terium tuberculosis Complex (MTC). This is relevant to design control measures at the wildlife-livestock interface. Animal
activity was monitored by camera-trapping at 12 mineral supplementation points during spring and fall. Additionally, swabs
were periodically taken from the mineral substrates and analyzed by PCR searching for MTC DNA. Cattle, pig, goat, sheep,
wild boar, and red deer were all recorded licking on mineral supplementation points. Livestock species were the main users
and presented a diurnal use pattern. Wild ungulates presented a nocturnal-crepuscular use pattern, with scarce overlapping
with livestock. Wild boar presence was positively related to cattle presence at mineral supplementation points, whereas red
deer presence was higher in supplemental points closer to forested areas and in farms without hunting pressure. We recorded
266 indirect wildlife-livestock interactions (i.e., two consecutive visits that occurred within 78 h), all of them derived from
21 unique wildlife visits. All the analyzed swabs resulted negative to MTC DNA. Comparing to other environmental sources
of MTC in our study area, mainly water ponds, this research evidenced that mineral blocks are less attractive to wildlife.
However, the potential for interspecifc transmission of MTC or other pathogens cannot be discarded. The risk for interac tion at mineral supplementation points and further transmission can be prevented by implementing specifc measures in the
context of integral biosecurity plans at the wildlife-livestock interface, which are proposed. | es |
