CR = Coto del Rey, EB = Estación Biológica, MA = Marismillas, PU = El puntal. Statistics concerning the GLMMs to test the factors affecting the presence of a given mycobacterial type or group are shown in Table 9. Concerning the M. bovis

vs MOTT GLMM, the distance to water was statistically higher in MOTT infected individuals than in M. bovis ones (MOTT mean distance to water = 1989 ± 245 m; M. bovis mean distance to water ± SD = 1513 ± 164 m). The ratio of the minimum distances to similarly infected hosts (which in average were always higher than 1 for the three host species and analyzed mycobacterial groups) statistically interacted with the host. The ratios (log10-trasnformed) were similar for MOTT and M. bovis in both PLEK2 deer species (2.13 ± 0.36 and 2.11 ± 0.32 for MOTT and M. bovis in red deer; 2.01 ± 0.11 and 1.95 ± 0.35 m for MOTT and M. bovis in fallow deer), whereas they were higher for M. bovis than MOTT in the wild boar (2.71 ± 0.36 and 3.55 ± 0.20 m for MOTT and M. bovis). This would indicate that in wild boar the intraspecific spatial aggregation of M. bovis is higher than for MOTT. When attending to specific mycobacterial types, there were statistical differences between zones for bovis TP A1, so that it was dominant in wild ungulates from the north of DNP (Table 1, Figure 6).
