Mycoplasma bovis is an emerging pathogen worldwide and is associated with various disease manifestations in cattle of all ages. Several potential herd-level risk factors associated with M. bovis positive herd status have been identified in recent years. However, only a few reports of M. bovis in Austrian cattle herds are available, and no nationwide prevalence data are available. The objectives of this study were to determine the apparent prevalence of M. bovis antibodies in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples from Austrian dairy farms and to identify potential risk factors associated with M. bovis antibody-positive herds. In total, 674 BTM samples were collected nationwide and analysed using the ID-Screen® Mycoplasma bovis Indirect (IDvet, Grabels, France) ELISA. In addition, farm-specific data and management practices were collected through an accompanying questionnaire to identify potential risk factors for M. bovis antibody positivity status. An apparent herd prevalence of 5.2% was observed among Austrian dairy farms. The apparent prevalence across federal states ranged from 0% to 14.8%. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between herd replacement policy (open vs. closed) and herd-level M. bovis antibody status (p = 0.005), with a closed herd replacement policy associated with a protective effect.

Feline tuberculosis, involving members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), presents ongoing diagnostic and public health challenges. Mycobacterium orygis, an emerging and genetically distinct MTBC member, is increasingly recognized for its wide host range, including humans, domestic livestock, and wildlife, particularly in South Asia. We report the first documented case of fatal pulmonary tuberculosis caused by M. orygis in a domestic cat. A 5-month-old stray domestic shorthair cat in India presented in profound shock with severe, rapidly progressive respiratory distress. Thoracic radiography showed a diffuse bronchointerstitial pattern. Diagnostic workup of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed abundant acid-fast bacilli on Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Definitive diagnosis was achieved through advanced molecular methods: MTBC-specific real-time PCR followed by sequencing of the ETR-D spacer and gyrB gene, which identified the species as M. orygis. The patient succumbed to the fulminant disease within 24 hours of presentation. This finding establishes the domestic cat as a previously unrecognized host for M. orygis and highlights the pathogen's capacity to cause severe pulmonary infection. Given the documented circulation of M. orygis among humans, livestock, and wildlife in India, this case underscores a critical and often-overlooked zoonotic risk, emphasizing the necessity of integrated veterinary and public health surveillance and rapid molecular diagnostics for species-level identification of MTBC infections.
