Tuberkuloza ptica
Zoonotic
Tuberkuloza ptica kronična je, sporo napredujuća bakterijska bolest koju uzrokuje Mycobacterium avium. Uzrokuje stvaranje granuloma (tuberkula) u crijevima, jetri, slezeni i drugim organima, što dovodi do postupnog propadanja unatoč očuvanom apetitu. Uzročnik je vrlo otporan u okolišu i može predstavljati zoonotski rizik za osobe oslabljenog imuniteta.
