Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections in humans have increased in prevalence in recent decades. Mycobacterium kansasii is one of the most prevalent human pathogenic NTM species worldwide. Herein, we report the first isolation of M. kansasi...
The skin disease paracoccidioidomycosis ceti occurs in several dolphin species globally. Infection by the unculturable fungi Paracoccidioides brasilensis or other Paracoccidioides spp. results in chronic cutaneous and granulomatous lesions. In thi...
The temperature of water used to rear juvenile stages of ayu affects the development of the thymus. However, subsequent differences in the thymus in adults after rearing juveniles at different temperatures are unclear. We analyzed thymus developme...

In 2019, several aquarium-reared fish died at a sea life park in Japan. Necropsy revealed micronodules on the spleen in the dotted gizzard shad (Konosirus punctatus). Seven of 16 fish exhibited microscopic multifocal granulomas associated with aci...
Mycobacterium montefiorense is a nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in fish and salamanders. Here, we report annotated draft genome sequences of eight strains that were isolated in 2014 and 2018 from salamanders reared in an aquar...
Mycobacterium pseudoshottsii, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, has been isolated from wild and cultured fish. We report here the complete genome and partial megaplasmid sequences of a strain isolated from an aquarium-reared Japanese sa...
Mycobacterium marinum is a ubiquitous nontuberculous mycobacterium that causes infections in various animals. Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequences of 25 strains isolated from vertebrates, invertebrates, and environmental components...
Mycobacterium marinum is a prevalent nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM)-infecting teleosts. Conversely, little is known about mycobacteriosis in elasmobranchs, and M. marinum infection has never been reported from the subclass. This study investig...
