Avian tuberculosis is a contagious disease affecting various domestic and wild bird species, and is caused by Mycobacterium avium . It is reported extremely rarely in commercial poultry flocks and has not been reported in commercial domestic ducks to date, with domestic ducks reported to be moderately resistant to M. avium infection.

Mycobacterium avium is an important pathogenic bacterium in birds and has never, to our knowledge, reported to be isolated from domestic ducks. We present here the complete genome sequence of a virulent strain of Mycobacterium avium, isolated from domestic Pekin ducks for the first time, which was determined by PacBio single-molecule real-time technology.

Background: Riemerella anatipestifer infection is a contagious disease that has resulted in major economic losses in the duck industry worldwide. This study attempted to characterize CRISPR-Cas systems in the disease-causing agent, Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer).

Article Synopsis
  • * The study presents new evidence of high-pressure minerals like tissintite and super-silicic garnet in a eucrite meteorite (NWA 8003), indicating high-pressure conditions during its formation.
  • * Shock simulations suggest that impact events creating craters around 3 km in diameter likely generate pressures adequate for forming these minerals, pointing to the potential for more HED meteorites with similar features to be discovered.
