Which pulmonary fungal infection is most likely to be confused with tuberculosis? how can we discriminate between these two types of infection?

Most common one is the Aspergillosis which is confused with TB.

Explanation:

Aspergillosis is usually the lung infections which is caused by fungi.  Aspergillus fungi are everywhere in the environment and can cause disease in wild and domestic animals, as well as humans.Outbreaks of aspergillosis in wild birds may be associated with outbreaks in domestic birds if they have access to a common source of the fungus.Other antifungal medications used to treat aspergillosis include lipid amphotericin formulations, posaconazole, isavuconazole, itraconazole, caspofungin, and micafungin.

Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which mainly affects the lungs. This bacteria spreads when  an infected person cough or sneeze & by saliva.The most commondrugs used to treat the TB are isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
