Abstract: The greater one‐horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List.

“…This bacterial species observed only in captive members of blackbuck while absence of such type of bacteria in wild species. Blackbuck is susceptible to serious infection by this species as it caused death in other species (Peters et al 2020). Mycobacterium bovis isolated from lymph node of thorax and abdomen of blackbuck causing bovine tuberculosis in species leading towards death (Podhade et al 2013;Akhtar et al 2019).…”
