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...

The aim of this study was to characterize Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue samples, from two Brazilian states, and to analyse their genetic diversity by spoligotyping. Tissue samples from tuberculosis suspect animals, 57 in Amazonas State (12 cattle and 45 buffaloes) and six from...

Mammalian tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease mainly due to Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis). A current challenge for its eradication is understanding its transmission within multi-host systems. Improvements in long-read sequencing technologies have made it possible to obtain complete bacterial...
