Oral delivery of bovine tuberculosis vaccine to free-ranging white-tailed deer.

Introduction: Free-ranging white-tailed deer () are a self-sustaining reservoir for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in northeastern lower Michigan, (United States) continually putting the area's cattle industry at risk. Liberal recreational deer harvest, baiting bans, and mitigation measures on farms have reduced but not eliminated bTB in deer nor have they eliminated transmission to cattle. With apparent prevalence in deer being low (1-2%) but constant, vaccination could be an additional tool to aid in addressing the problem and merits investigation.
