Avian Mycobacteriosis: Still Existing Threat to Humans. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2016 The nontuberculous mycobacteria are typically environmental organisms residing in soil and water. These microorganisms can cause a wide range of clinical diseases; pulmonary disease is most frequent, followed by lymphadenitis in children, skin and soft tissue disease, and rare extra pulmonary or disseminated infections.Mycobacterium aviumcomplex is the

Investigation of an outbreak of mycobacteriosis in pigs [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2011 Background A high proportion of pigs imported to Serbia from a Lithuanian breeding herd reacted positively against avian and/or bovine tuberculin. The pigs were euthanized and lesions characteristic for mycobacterial infection were detected.

Avian mycobacteriosis in companion birds: 20-year survey [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2009 The causative agents of avian mycobacteriosis in pet birds are rarely identified. The aim of this study is to add information about the etiology of avian mycobacteriosis. The identification of mycobacterium species in 27 cases of avian mycobacteriosis in pet birds was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of a rRNA ...

Avian mycobacteriosis in a naturally infected captive nocturnal curassow (Nothocrax urumutum)
Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2022 A senile female nocturnal curassow (Nothocrax urumutum) kept under human care was found dead. Grossly, the lungs were congested and had a nodule with 2.0 cm in diameter adhered to the left lung.

Spatiotemporal network structure among "friends of friends" reveals contagious disease process. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Disease transmission can be identified in a social network from the structural patterns of contact. However, it is difficult to separate contagious processes from those driven by homophily, and multiple pathways of transmission or inexact information on ...
