Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
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.

Novel molecular transport medium used in combination with Xpert MTB/RIF ultra provides rapid detection of Mycobacterium bovis in African buffaloes

Scientific Reports, 2021
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in wildlife. Confirmation of M. bovis infection relies on mycobacterial culture, which is time-consuming.

Mycobacterium bovisInfection, United Kingdom

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We describe the first documented spillover of bovine tuberculosis from animals into the human population of the United Kingdom since the resurgence of the disease in cattle in the country. This finding suggests that there may be a small risk for transmission to humans, making continued vigilance particularly necessary.

The Paediatric BCG Vaccine Century: From Historical Success to Future Innovations

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, Bacille‐Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), protects infants against severe forms of primary TB. Yet, it does not protect against pulmonary reactivation TB in adults. Methods A literature review was conducted between 1st January and 28th February 2025 using PubMed, Google Scholar and reports of the World Health ...

Rapid method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis identification using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry analysis of mycolic acids [PDF]

, 2013
Mycolic acids (MAs), which play a crucial role in the architecture of mycobacterial cell walls, were analyzed using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. A targeted analysis based on the 10 most abundant and characteristic multiple reaction

Mycobacterium bovisInfection, Lyon, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
In a 5-year retrospective study, we used spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units to type 13 strains of Mycobacterium bovis isolated from human sources. Despite the relatively high incidence of human tuberculosis caused by M. bovis (2%), these tools showed no clonal evolution and no relationships between the isolates.

Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making.

PCR identification of Mycobacterium bovis BCG [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
The attenuated bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine strain is derived from a virulent strain of Mycobacterium bovis. BCG is difficult to differentiate from other strains of M. bovis and other members of the M. tuberculosis complex by conventional methods. Recently, a genomic region designated RD1 was found to be present in all virulent M. bovis and M.

Case Report of an Infectious Aortic Aneurysm Following Intravesical Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin Therapy After Transurethral Resection of a Bladder Tumor

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Intravesical Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) therapy is an established treatment for non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer. Although systemic BCG infection is rare, infectious aortic aneurysm is a potentially fatal complication.

Preliminary study of molecular identification of Mycobacterium bovis from cow’s milk in Lorestan (Iran)

Scientific Reports
Bovine tuberculosis is one of the most important common infectious diseases between humans and livestock. Cow’s milk can be investigated as one of the transmission reservoirs of the disease.
