ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Successful Treatment of Mycobacterium caprae Infection in Two UK Cats
This article describes the first cases of successful treatment and long term resolution of clinical signs of two cats infected with Mycobacterium caprae. This suggests that the “triple antibiotics therapy” (rifampicin, azithromycin and pradofloxacin) used for other Mycobacterium tuberculosis‐complex infections in cats can be used safely and effectively

Tuberculosis due to Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium caprae in sheep [PDF]
Tuberculosis was diagnosed in three flocks of sheep in Galicia, Spain, in 2009 and 2010. Two flocks were infected with Mycobacterium bovis and one flock was infected with Mycobacterium caprae. Infection was confirmed by the comparative intradermal tuberculin test, bacteriology, molecular analysis and histopathology. Sheep have the potential to act as a

ABSTRACT Understanding transmission routes of parasites and pathogens is critical for the development of control measures and mitigation of impacts on host populations. Trichomonas gallinae is a widespread parasite in columbids worldwide, and has emerged as a lethal disease in passerines, particularly finches.
