Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis – Comparing in vitro and in silico approaches

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2023
Spoligotyping is one of the molecular typing methods widely used for exploring the genetic variety of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to compare the spoligoprofiles of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates, obtained using in vitro and in silico approaches. The study included 230 M.

Detecting emerging strains of tuberculosis by using spoligotypes [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
The W-Beijing strain of tuberculosis has been identified in many molecular epidemiological studies as being particularly prevalent. This identification has been made possible through the development of a number of genotyping technologies including spoligotyping.

Spoligotype analysis of Mycobacterium bovis isolates from cattle and assessment of zoonotic TB transmission among individuals working in bovine TB‐infected dairy farms in Ethiopia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 663-672, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a disease with impact on dairy productivity, as well as having the potential for zoonotic transmission. Understanding the genetic diversity of the disease agent Mycobacterium bovis is important for identifying its routes of transmission. Here we investigated the level of genetic diversity of M.

The effectiveness of bovine tuberculosis surveillance in Dutch badgers

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 2008-2020, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Countries survey wildlife for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) to ensure case detection or to ascertain a high probability of freedom from bTB in wildlife. The Eurasian badger (Meles meles) is a potential bTB reservoir host. Between 2008 and 2019, 282 badgers were examined post‐mortem in the context of general wildlife disease and targeted bTB ...

Detection of a local Mycobacterium bovis reservoir using cattle surveillance data

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e104-e118, July 2022., 2022
Abstract The incidence of bovine tuberculosis (TB, caused by Mycobacterium bovis) in cattle has been associated with TB in badgers (Meles meles) in parts of England. The aim was to identify badger‐associated M. bovis reservoirs in the Edge Area, between the High‐ and Low‐Risk Areas for cattle TB. Data from badger TB surveys were sparse.

Pulmonary tuberculosis in Harare, Zimbabwe: analysis by spoligotyping [PDF]

Thorax, 1998
Over the last 10 years there has been a fourfold increase in cases of tuberculosis in Harare, Zimbabwe. The use of molecular epidemiology to understand tuberculosis transmission in this epidemic has been hampered by the availability of suitable culture facilities.

Histological and immunohistochemical features suggesting aetiological differences in lymph node and (muco)cutaneous feline tuberculosis lesions

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 174-187, March 2022., 2022
Objectives To identify and describe histological and immunohistochemical criteria that may differentiate between skin and lymph node lesions associated with Mycobacterium (M.) bovis and M. microti in a diagnostic pathology setting. Materials and Methods Archived skin and lymph node biopsies of tuberculous lesions were stained with haematoxylin and ...
