Abstract

A Mycobacterium avium infection in a not typical form in domestic pigeons of four flocks was established by microbiological and histological methods. The tuberculosis alterations were localisated mainly in the area of the first and elbow joints. Microbiological investigations show that M. avium is concerned. The data suggest probability of increasing of avian tuberculosis in our country and a possibility of its spreading by infected pigeons.
