Abstract
In the Chilean coastal Patagonia, fourteen wild deer huemul faecal pellet samples were collected and cultured for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis detection. Six samples were positive, but only one was able to show a molecular typesimilar to the most common strain reported for cattle in Chile. En el Parque Nacional Bernardo O’Higgins de la Patagonia chilena se recolectaron catorce muestras de heces de huemul para detección de Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Seis de las muestras resultaron positivas, pero solo unamostró un patrón molecular similar al patrón más común de cepas aisladas de bovinos en Chile.
