Spontaneous mycobacteriosis is rare in rabbits and rodents with the exception of the pygmy rabbit, and there are only a handful of reported cases involving other rodents. Mycobacterium avium complex was the most commonly identified organism in reports of spontaneous mycobacteriosis involving rabbits and rodents. The resistance of rabbits and rodents to mycobacterial disease has been useful in understanding the disease in humans and other animals. Preventing or controlling Mycobacterium sp transmission from wildlife to domestic animals will require collaboration between agriculture, wildlife, environmental, and political entities. Understanding the ecology and epidemiology of mycobacteria is needed for better worldwide management of tuberculosis.
除了侏兔外，自发性分枝杆菌病在兔子和啮齿动物中很少见，涉及其他啮齿动物的报告病例也只有少数几例。在涉及兔子和啮齿动物的自发性分枝杆菌病报告中，鸟分枝杆菌复合体是最常鉴定出的病原体。兔子和啮齿动物对分枝杆菌病的抵抗力有助于了解人类和其他动物的这种疾病。预防或控制分枝杆菌从野生动物传播到家畜需要农业、野生动物、环境和政治实体之间的合作。为了在全球范围内更好地管理结核病，需要了解分枝杆菌的生态学和流行病学。
