Such a relatively young age for an elephant. Someone can verify this, that it was reported at the time Dondi had passed from tuberculosis--?

Indeed it was a unique form of

tuberculosis which I'm sorry

to say is an all too common

disease of captive elephants

which is contageous & is also

very hard to treat

Yes, unfortunately it was. Chic is right. It's very hard to detect and no symptoms can also make it progress before you even know something is wrong.
