Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis in Cameroon [PDF]
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

Performance of an environmental test to detect Mycobacterium bovis infection in badger social groups [PDF]
A study by Courtenay and others (2006) demonstrated that the probability of detecting Mycobacterium bovis by PCR in soil samples from the spoil heaps of main badger setts correlated with the prevalence of excretion (infectiousness) of captured ...

Whole-transcriptome, high-throughput RNA sequence analysis of the bovine macrophage response to Mycobacterium bovis infection in vitro [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, is an intracellular pathogen that can persist inside host macrophages during infection via a diverse range of mechanisms that subvert the host immune response.

Environmental monitoring of Mycobacterium bovis in badger feces and badger sett soil by real-time PCR, as confirmed by immunofluorescence, immunocapture, and cultivation [PDF]
Real-time PCR was used to detect and quantify Mycobacterium bovis cells in naturally infected soil and badger faeces. Immunomagnetic capture, immunofluorescence and selective culture confirmed species identification and cell viability.

Isolation and identification of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from aquarium fish in Ilam, Iran
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are among the most important pathogens in wild, captive, marine, and freshwater fish species. So, it is important to consider fish as the primary source of infection for aquarium fish and humans.
