Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes circulating in the Lebanese population: a retrospective study [PDF]

Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2013
Genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Lebanon on the national level may be beneficial for assessing patients and monitoring the therapeutic response to DOTS. This study aimed to characterize the spoligotypes of clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis patients collected between April 2004 and October 2005 from all Lebanese provinces.

Identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strain families using spoligotypes [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2006
We present a novel approach for analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) strain genotyping data. Our work presents a first step in an ongoing project dedicated to the development of decision support tools for tuberculosis (TB) epidemiologists exploiting both genotyping and epidemiological data.

Can biosecurity on farms reduce bovine tuberculosis risks in cattle in England? A review of observational and literature‐based evidence

Veterinary Record, Volume 196, Issue 1, 4/11 January 2025.
Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a burden to cattle farming in Great Britain. Poor biosecurity has been identified as contributing to the epidemic. Methods We conducted a systematic review of epidemiological studies published in the scientific literature between 1921 and 2024 that measured the association between farm biosecurity and ...
