Environments Providing Favourable Conditions for the Multiplication and Transmission of Mycobacteria

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Ecology of Mycobacteria: Impact on Animal's and Human's Health

As a result of a number of systematic surveys to detect or enumerate ESM and PPM in water and soil throughout the world, it has been possible to identify those habitats that harbour the highest numbers of ESM and PPM. It would be expected that those sources should be linked to the highest frequencies of disease, provided that there are routes for human or animal transmission.
