The short version
Mycobacteriosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bacteria. Mycobacteriosis can affect many animal species and was a major disease in both people and domestic animals before modern control measures.
Common signs include gradual weight loss, lack of energy, weakness, poor appetite, and a mild fever. In some cases, the disease can develop slowly over time, but it can also develop rapidly and become severe.
