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

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 ...

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

Predominant Tuberculosis Spoligotypes, Delhi, India

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
One hundred five Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from the Delhi area were typed by spoligotyping; 45 patterns were identified. Comparison with an international spoligotype database showed type 26, Delhi type (22%), type 54 (12%), and type 1, Beijing type (8%), as the most common.

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.

Genotypic characterization directly applied to sputum improves the detection of Mycobacterium africanum West African 1, under-represented in positive cultures.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBc) lineages between direct genotyping (on sputum) and indirect genotyping (on culture), to characterize potential culture bias against difficult growers ...

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis in Cameroon [PDF]

, 2017
We describe the largest molecular epidemiological study of Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) in a sub-Saharan African country with higher spatial resolution providing new insights into bTB. Four hundred and ninety-nine samples were collected for culture from 201

Mycobacterium bovisin Swine: Spoligotyping of Isolates from Argentina [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine International, 2011
A total of 143Mycobacterium bovisisolates of pigs, from the most productive swine area in Argentina, were typed by spoligotyping. Twenty-two different spoligotypes were identified, and 133 (93%) isolates were grouped into 12 clusters. One of them, designed SB0140, was the most frequent because it held 83 (58%) isolates.

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.
