Avian Tuberculosis Discovered on Beyton Green

On July 4, 2015 one of the geese released by Beyton Parish Council on to the green was found dead floating on the pond. An autopsy revealed that it had died of Avian Tuberculosis. Avian Tuberculosis can be transmitted to humans through infected goose faeces. Those most at risk are those with weaker immune systems like people currently having chemotherapy. The elderly and children also have a higher risk of becoming infected. Avian Tuberculosis can not be spread from human to human but it is resistant to antibiotics.
