Will we ever eradicate animal tuberculosis? [PDF]
Irish Veterinary Journal, 2023 Two characteristics of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) are particularly relevant for tuberculosis (TB) epidemiology and control, namely the ability of this group of pathogens to survive in the environment and thereby facilitate indirect ...

Development and Challenges in Animal Tuberculosis Vaccination. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Vaccination with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) constituted a major advance in the prevention of human tuberculosis (TB) in the beginning of the past century. BCG has also a clear potential for use in animals and, in particular, in the main domestic species subjected to TB control programs, cattle.

Animal models of tuberculosis [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, 2009 AbstractThere is a wide range of animal models of tuberculosis; which is fortunate, given that there is a wide range of complex biological phenomena to model. Nonetheless, the inadequacy of animal models is a chronic grievance amongst researchers, often expressed in the conclusion that the mouse is not a good model of human tuberculosis.

Comparative pathology of experimental pulmonary tuberculosis in animal models
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Research in human tuberculosis (TB) is limited by the availability of human tissues from patients, which is often altered by therapy and treatment. Thus, the use of animal models is a key tool in increasing our understanding of the pathogenesis, disease ...

Impact of imperfect test sensitivity on determining risk factors : the case of bovine tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2012 Background Imperfect diagnostic testing reduces the power to detect significant predictors in classical cross-sectional studies. Assuming that the misclassification in diagnosis is random this can be dealt with by increasing the sample size of a study ...
