[edit] Clostridial infections or toxins

  • Botulism is discussed briefly at Polyneuropathy in dogs and cats, but is missing information on cats, horses, cows, and birds.

[edit] Mycobacterium

  • Tuberculosis - A little information in cattle, but pretty much any other domestic species can be affected. Probably best to split these up among different species of Mycobacterium.

[edit] Chlamydiae

[edit] Mycoplasmas

[edit] Spirochetes
