Comparative Study of <em>Mycobacterium avium</em> subsp. <em>avium</em> and <em>Mycobacterium avium</em> subsp. <em>hominissuis</em> in Pigs

They proposed that the more extensive shedding of the hominissuis type might cause pig–to–pig transmission and contribute to the higher incidence of infection caused by this subspecies.
