TB R&D Spotlight Interview with Dr. Michele Miller: In part two of our interview, we discuss the impact that TB could have on wildlife populations. Tuberculosis is currently a leading infectious disease in both human and animal populations across the world. Because it is an older disease, it goes under recognized in all groups – especially wildlife. While it may not generate as much attention as HIV, or Ebola, it can have greater impact on the balance of the environment and our wildlife populations.

TB R&D Spotlight Interview with Dr. Michele Miller: When we think of infectious diseases, such as HIV or Tuberculosis, we usually consider them to be a human problem – there are rarely reports of disease in animals, unless it impacts people directly. The reality, however, is that infection greatly impacts domestic and wild animals, greatly affecting the health of our environment.
