Title:

Creator:

Hancox, M.

Place of publishing:

Białowieża

Date issued/created:

1988

Description:

Major abscesses in 1% out of 1050 badger Meles meles (Linnaeus, 1758), skulls were almost certainly responsible for premature death; but the minor abscesses in 6% of this material, the tooth loss with healed over alveoli, and the minor dental abnormalities encountered probably did not significantly impair foraging ability except under ecological conditions of severe food shortage.
