Tuberkuloza ptic
Zoonotic
Tuberkuloza ptic je kronična, počasi napredujoča bakterijska bolezen, ki jo povzroča Mycobacterium avium. Povzroča nastanek granulomov (tuberklov) v črevesju, jetrih, vranici in drugih organih, kar vodi v postopno hiranje kljub ohranjenemu apetitu. Povzročitelj je zelo obstojen v okolju in lahko predstavlja zoonotsko tveganje za osebe z oslabljenim imunskim sistemom.
