Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England. [PDF]
Abstract Background In England, transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and certain species of free‐roaming, wild deer has been implicated in some endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) regions. However, there are still data and knowledge gaps regarding the role of deer in the epidemiology of this disease.

The prevalence, distribution and severity of detectable pathological lesions in badgers naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis [PDF]
The Randomized Badger Culling Trial (RBCT) began in 1998 to determine the impact of badger culling in controlling bovine tuberculosis in cattle. A total of 1166 badgers (14% of total)proactively culled during the RBCT were found to be tuberculous ...

Social group size affects Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles) [PDF]
1. In most social animals, the prevalence of directly transmitted pathogens increases in larger groups and at higher population densities. Such patterns are predicted by models of Mycobacterium bovis infection in European badgers (Meles meles). 2.

Mycobacterium bovistenosynovitis [PDF]
Infectious tenosynovitis is a rare condition usually presenting with symptoms of joint pain, swelling and deformity. A large number of infectious organisms are known to cause tenosynovitis and prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate treatment is delivered before serious complications and functional impairment occurs.

Flow cytometric detection of gamma interferon can effectively discriminate Mycobacterium bovis BCG-vaccinated cattle from M. bovis-infected cattle [PDF]
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a disease that is increasing in incidence in United Kingdom cattle herds. In addition to increasing economic losses, the rise in bovine tuberculosis poses a human health risk. There is an

Whole genome sequencing reveals local transmission patterns of mycobacterium bovis in sympatric cattle and badger populations [PDF]
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology holds great promise as a tool for the forensic epidemiology of bacterial pathogens. It is likely to be particularly useful for studying the transmission dynamics of an observed epidemic involving a largely ...

MYCOBACTERIUM BOVIS IN WILDLIFE IN FRANCE [PDF]
In early 2001, tuberculosis-like lesions were detected in three hunter-killed red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Brotonne Forest (Normandy, France), and Mycobacterium bovis was isolated. In subsequent hunting seasons, two surveys were conducted in the area.
