Study Objective: to identify clinical and X-ray features of mycobacteriosis caused by slow-growing forms nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMB), in patients with chronic non-specific lung diseases TB. Design: prospective retrospective study. Materials Methods. We examined 166 diseases: bronchitis, obstructive respiratory diseases, bronchiectatic disease, 79 had a primary disease (NTM); controls wer...

Mycobacteriosis, caused by Mycobacterium sp., results in severe loss of fish production in Japan’s aquaculture industry. Since the bacterium can survive and grow in side host cells, chemotherapeutic agents are not effective and potent vaccines are required to control the disease. In this study, the effects of two vaccine candidates, Bacillus Calmette and Guèrin (BCG, an attenuated strain of Myc...

Mycobacteriosis in swine is a common zoonosis found in abattoirs during meat inspections, and the veterinary authority is expected to inform the producer for corrective actions when an outbreak is detected. The expected value of the number of condemned carcasses due to mycobacteriosis therefore would be a useful threshold to detect an outbreak, and the present study aims to develop such an expe...

In Japan, the rate of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) (atypical mycobacterial diseases) in the total pulmonary mycobacteriosis is continously increasing, in 1994 it reached 14.0% in newly admitted mycobacteriosis cases in 211 sanatoriums throughout Japan (1), and NTMbecame considered an important chest disease. This increase is mainly dependent uponthe recent rapid decrease of tu...

Avian mycobacteriosis is important for animal and human health; wild birds play an important role in mycobacterial species' ecology and movement. This review was aimed at reporting the role of birds in the spread of avian mycobacteriosis in human and animal populations at risk and thus a systematic review was made of PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo and Scirus databases. Mycobacteria are classifi...

a dead canary from a mixed species zoological garden was presented for diagnostic necropsy. cachexia with prominent atrophy of pectoral muscles, yellowish brown discoloration of the liver and kidney, dark brown to black intestinal contents and moderate proventricular dilatation with some degree of catarrhal gastritis were the significant macroscopic findings. parenchymatous organs like the live...
