Overview

This review analyzes transmission modes of non-tuberculous and tuberculous mycobacteria, suggesting new ecological perspectives.

Key Points

  • The review suggests that understanding mycobacterial transmission is limited due to reliance on canonical facts.
  • Research highlights a bias towards studying only the contagious stage of tuberculous mycobacteria.
  • Emphasizing ecological and evolutionary concepts may lead to new insights into mycobacterial pathogens.
  • An integrative approach is necessary in veterinary science and public health to control these pathogens.
