The ability of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) to survive in bovine milk has emerged as a serious public health concern. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of IS1081-targeted real-time PCR for the detection of M. bovis DNA in different fractions of bovine milk....

The history of the epidemiology, prevalence, diagnosis, prevention and control of Mycobacterium bovis tuberculosis in cattle in Czechoslovakia beginning from 1897 are described. The knowledge will be useful for current control programmes and prevention of human disease due to consumption of beef...

Mycobacterium bovis is the primary causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a zoonotic infectious disease that presents a risk to public health, livestock, and wildlife. Here, we report complete genome sequences of two Mycobacterium bovis strains affiliated with bovine tuberculosis outbreaks in...

Genotyping of Mycobacterium bovis, performed with classical techniques (spoligotyping-VNTR), makes it possible to trace the infectious origin of a very large number of bovine tuberculosis outbreaks but not to reconstruct transmission scenarios, particularly in areas where the incidence is high and...

Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), is a globally prevalent pathogen with significant animal welfare, economic and public health impacts. In the UK, the control of bTB relies on detection via tuberculin skin tests with ancillary interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release...

Bovine tuberculosis is one of the serious public health challenges which also causes economic damage in the livestock industry. Understanding the interaction mechanism between the host immune system and the causative pathogen of tuberculosis is one of the essential areas of study for success in...

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other related mycobacteria has been reported in a wide range of mammals worldwide. In the case of the Herpestidae family, Mycobacterium mungi and M. bovis, both belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex, have been reported in banded mongooses ...

Mycobacterium bovis is the primary causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a zoonotic infectious disease of concern for human health, livestock, and wildlife conservation. We report a complete genome sequence of an endemic Mycobacterium bovis strain affiliated with a wildlife reservoir of bovine...

Bovine tuberculosis is a common disease affecting cattle and wildlife worldwide. Mycobacterium bovis circulation in wildlife decreases the efficacy of surveillance and control programs in cattle. Strains of the European 3 clonal complex are the most frequent in France. The aim of our work was hence ...

Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a bacterium that affects cattle and other mammals, including humans. Despite the availability of vast research about the immune response mechanisms of human tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis...
