In the January 2020 edition of Companion, Danièlle Gunn-Moore and Conor O’Halloran,
respected specialists on mycobacteriosis in both cats and dogs including
recently important work on Mycobacterium bovis, answered reader’s questions on mycobacterial infection.
With the incidence of
mycobacterial infections in small companion animals on the rise and the
associated risk this poses to public health, it is important that veterinarians
have access to accurate information on which to base decisions related to
diagnosis and management. Owners must also be made aware of the potential
zoonotic risks plus the costs and possible complications of treatment. This is
a short collection to provide some of the answers to assist in your decision
making when faced with mycobacterial infections.
