What is Fine-tuning the Space, Time, and Host Distribution of Mycobacteria in Wildlife about?
## Background We describe the diversity of two kinds of mycobacteria isolates, environmental mycobacteria and __Mycobacterium bovis__ collected from wild boar, fallow deer, red deer and cattle in Doñana National Park (DNP, Spain), analyzing their association with temporal, spatial and environmental factors. ## Results High diversity of environmental mycobacteria species and __M. bovis__ typing patterns (TPs) were found. When assessing the factors underlying the presence of the most common types of both environmental mycobacteria and __M. bovis__ TPs in DNP, we evidenced (i) host species differences in the occurrence, (ii) spatial structuration and (iii) differences in the degree of spatial association of specific types between host species. Co-infection of a single host by two __M. bovis__ TPs occurred in all three wild ungulate species. In wild boar and red deer, isolation of one group of mycobacteria occurred more frequently in individuals not infected by the other group. While only three TPs were detected in wildlife between 1998 and 2003, up to 8 different ones were found during 2006-2007. The opposite was observed in cattle. Belonging to an __M. bovis__-infected social group w
