Towards better prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages from MIRU-VNTR data. [PDF]

Infect Genet Evol, 2019
The determination of lineages from strain-based molecular genotyping information is an important problem in tuberculosis. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing is a commonly used molecular genotyping approach that uses counts of the number of times pre-specified loci repeat in a strain.

Deciphering the role of host species for two Mycobacterium bovis genotypes from the European 3 clonal complex circulation within a cattle‐badger‐wild boar multihost system

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Using whole genome sequencing of Mycobacterium bovis strains collected in two distinct areas of France with an evolutionary model, we showed that the role of host species in the circulation of the pathogen differed between both areas. While wild boars appeared to play the role of an intermediary between badgers and cattle in both areas, the role of ...

Tuberculosis Epidemiology and Spatial Ecology at the Cattle‐Wild Boar Interface in Northern Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious chronic disease due to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) bacteria. Monitoring of wildlife, especially potential reservoirs, is important for detecting changes in disease occurrence and assessing the impact of interventions.
