Isolation and Molecular Identification of Mycobacterium bovis from Slaughtered Cattle in Nekemte Municipality Abattoir, Ethiopia [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease that can spread from animals to humans as well as from human to human. Little research has been conducted on bovine tuberculosis prevalence and molecular characterization in the western part of Ethiopia. To investigate this, a cross‐sectional study was conducted on slaughtered cattle at the Nekemte municipal ...

How can DAFM best make use of whole genome sequencing to improve the effectiveness of the TB eradication programme?

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 2, September‐December 2023., 2023
Abstract Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a technique used to determine the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. In the context of bacterial pathogens, such as the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis), WGS offers insights into the nucleotide sequence variations that arise due to mutations during bacterial replication ...

What is the proportional contribution of cattle‐to‐cattle, badger‐to‐cattle, and deer‐to‐cattle TB transmission to bovine TB in Ireland?

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 2, September‐December 2023., 2023
Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), including M. bovis, affects humans and multiple animal species. Cattle are significant hosts, and their interaction with other species, such as badgers and deer, is crucial for TB transmission dynamics.

Occurrence of tuberculosis among people exposed to cattle in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 1923-1933, July 2023., 2023
Overall, 11% people (involved with cattle husbandry) were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis including 6.8% were resistant to one or two anti‐TB drugs. No Mycobacterium spp. was found in cattle. Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis among workers in the live cattle market poses possible risk of transmission of tuberculosis to people in the live

Mycobacterium bovis in Egyptian mongoose, Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 365-368, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other related mycobacteria has been reported in a wide range of mammals worldwide. In the case of the Herpestidae family, Mycobacterium mungi and M. bovis, both belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex, have been reported in banded mongooses (Mungos mungo) in Africa and in Egyptian ...

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.

Drug Resistance in Tuberculous Lymphadenitis: Molecular Characterization

Tuberculosis Research and Treatment, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Background. Drug‐resistant tuberculosis (TB) epidemic in high‐TB‐incidence countries, particularly Ethiopia, remains a significant challenge. As a result, we investigated the drug resistance, common gene mutation, and molecular characterization of mycobacterial isolates from patients with suspected tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN). Methodology. A cross‐

Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Whole‐Genome Sequencing in the Yi Ethnic Group, Sichuan Province, China

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
This study investigated drug‐resistant tuberculosis (DR‐TB) in the Yi ethnic group. The study was designed to identify risk factors for DR‐TB and its relationship with HIV/AIDS. To establish the resistance to antituberculosis drugs, whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using culture‐positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis samples collected from ...

Assessment of the frequency of Mycobacterium bovis shedding in the faeces of naturally and experimentally TB infected cattle

Journal of Applied Microbiology, Volume 133, Issue 3, Page 1832-1842, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aims To assess the prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis bacilli in faecal samples of tuberculous cattle, and to better understand the risk of environmental dissemination of bovine tuberculosis (TB) through the spreading of manure or slurry. Methods and Results Faecal samples were collected from 72 naturally infected cattle with visible lesions of
