Paul Reynolds, [19 Oct 2022 at 14:49:02]: Hello all. I darted a nyala bull today that died during procedure. Lungs full of Corynebacterium lymphadenitis abscesses. What is the guessed prevalence in game and can you do blood tests to see if animals have antibodies? What would the way forward be? Animal in great condition and no other organs affected CLA suspected..... sorry Henry Labuschagne, [19 Oct 2022 at 16:13:48]: Do culture and antibiogram Roy Bengis, [19 Oct 2022 at 16:52:16]: Multiple lung abscesses due to Corynebacterium paratuberculosis has been reported in several wildlife populations. Also, dont forget TB due to M. bovis as a DD if this is in the endemic area of KZN or Mpumalanga. Paul Reynolds, [19 Oct 2022 at 18:28:19]: But for culling purpose or managing. Any way to detect in live animal? Henry Labuschagne, [19 Oct 2022 at 18:50:53]: X ray or ultrasound
