Environmental silica in badger lungs: a possible association with susceptibility to Mycobacterium bovis infection.

D A Higgins, I T Kung, R S Or.   

Abstract

Badger lungs contain dark granular foci (0.2 to 2.0 mm) comprising aggregates of enlarged macrophages containing birefringent crystalline particles. Particles were examined from the lungs of three badgers; many were silicates and a significant number were pure silica (SiO2). The particles and the accompanying pathology resembled mixed dust fibrosis and silicosis in humans, diseases associated with increased susceptibility to tuberculosis.
