Tuberculous lesions were observed at necropsy in the liver of 1 of 10 White-headed Tree ducks (Dendrocygna viduata) imported from Nigeria. Microscopic examination revealed granulomas with acid-fast bacilli; Mycobacterium avium serotype 3 was isolated. Two chickens inoculated intraperitoneally with the isolant had gross and microscopic granulomas in the liver at necropsy 62 days after inoculation. Isolants from chickens were serologically similar to the strain isolated from the duck.
在从尼日利亚进口的10只白头树鸭(Dendrocygna viduata)中,有1只在尸检时肝脏发现结核病变。显微镜检查发现含有抗酸杆菌的肉芽肿;分离出鸟分枝杆菌血清型3。两只经腹腔接种该分离株的鸡在接种62天后尸检时肝脏出现肉眼可见和显微镜下可见的肉芽肿。鸡的分离株在血清学上与从鸭分离出的菌株相似。
