Tuberculosis in Animals

Precautions for Treating Pet Animals

Treatment of tuberculosis in pet animals can control the progression of the disease, but it should be performed with caution due to potential risks. Treatment can help improve the animal's quality of life and reduce the risk of transmission to other animals.

Rare Treatment in Domestic Livestock

Bovine tuberculosis is rarely treated in domestic livestock, except in rare cases when valuable animals are affected. In such instances, treatment may be considered to prevent economic losses.

Tuberculosis in Mammals

Tuberculosis in mammals is caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which are Gram-negative bacteria. These bacteria can infect various animal species, including deer, leading to possible exposure and transmission to humans.
