Mycobacterium bovis infection in African wild dog packs, Kruger National Park, South Africa. Each pie chart indicates the position of a pack at time of sampling; the size of the pack (n value); and the proportion of test-positive, test-negative, and untested animals. The pack name (e.g., LP-A) and the proportion of tested animals that were test-positive (e.g., 2/2) are shown. A single wild dog that was not part of a pack was included. IGRA, interferon gamma release assay.
