“…avium strain used. Although M. tuberculosis has not been used for experimentally inoculation of birds so far, the susceptibility of Psittaciformes to this bacillus is well known (Washko et al, 1998;Montali et al, 2001). Till the isolation of M. tuberculosis in 2002 from a canary (Hoop, 2002), Psittaciformes had been the only group of birds reported to suffer from tuberculosis caused by this agent.…”

International audienceThe aim of the present study was to determine the susceptibility of budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) to infections with different Mycobacterium species. For inoculations the following M. species were used: M. avium subsp. avium, M. bovis subsp. bovis, M. tuberculosis subsp. tuberculosis, M. intracellulare and M. fortuitum subsp. fortuitum. The bacterial suspension was administrated intramuscularly and all the birds were monitored for 70 days starting from the day of inoculation. During the experiment clinical examination, x- rays, plate agglutination tests, tuberculin tests, feces smear preparations and culture of mycobacteria were performed. The study showed, that M. bovis subsp. bovis was the most pathogenic M. species for budgerigars. After inoculation the bacilli induced tuberculosis-typical, clinical signs and necropsy findings. In two out of six birds infected with M. bovis subsp. bovis radiological changes were also visible. Birds inoculated with other M. species did not show any typical symptoms of infection and only the results of histopathological and bacteriological examinations indicated the presence of infection

“…Infections with human bacteria among domesticated animals occur, above all, in the urban areas where men and animals coexist in a small territory. The problem of the disease caused by M. tuberculosis concerns also the wild animals which live in captivity [2,3]. The case of a 30-year-old woman suffering from tuberculosis who transmitted human tuberculosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the calf in her farm, was described in 2012 by the group of Polish researchers [4].…”

“…Tuberkulosis merupakan penyebab kematian nomor dua terbesar di Indonesia setelah penyakit kardiovaskuler, dan merupakan penyebab kematian nomor satu dari kelompok penyakit infeksi (3). Mycobacterium dari M.tuberculosis complex yang menyerang manusia telah diketahui juga dapat menyebabkan tuberkulosis bentuk pulmonari, gastrointestinal, atau bentuk menyebar pada hewan piaraan termasuk kucing (4,5,6,7).…”

The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of BCG vaccination on phagocyte activity and ROI secretion in cat peritoneum macrophages which infected with M.tuberculosis. The experiment used twenty four healthy cats. The animals were divided in 2 groups, 12 cats in each group. Group I were vaccinated with BCG, group II were control group which unvaccinated. BCG vaccination was done twice in two weeks interval. Two days after vaccination each cat was infected by 10 5 cfu M.tuberculosis intraperitoneally. The activity of macrophages were measured at 1 st , 2 nd , 12 th , and 24 th , after infection using in vitro latex bead phagocyte and NBT reduction assay. Three cats were used to measure the macrophage activity in each period, using triplicate sample for each cat. The results of the experiment showed that the phagocyte activity and ROI secretion increased significantly in vaccination group (P<0.01) compared with the control group, and these activities reached to the plateau level at 2 weeks after infection. Although these enhanced activities were gradually diminished thereafter, higher levels of these activities were consistently observed until the end of experiment compared with control group. BCG vaccination increased the cellular immunity especially phagocyte and ROI secretion activities of peritoneual macrophages in cat infected with M.tuberculosis
