Preliminary assessment of reproductive technologies in wood bison (Bison bison athabascae): implications for preserving genetic diversity.

Abstract excerpt

Since the high prevalence of bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis in free-ranging wood bison in the Canadian north poses a threat to nearby healthy bison populations, commercial bison and cattle ranches, and potentially to humans, there is considerable impetus to salvage the genetics of infected bison and maintain a disease-free herd.
