Prevalence and Direct Economic Losses from Bovine Tuberculosis in Makurdi, Nigeria

Veterinary Medicine International, 2014
A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis and direct economic losses (DEL) from tuberculosis in cattle slaughtered in Makurdi abattoirs from 2008 to 2012, using abattoir records obtained from the Ministry of

Introduction and Application of the Interferon-γ Assay in the National Bovine Tuberculosis Control Program in South Korea

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease impacting both public health and the livestock industry. The interferon (IFN)-γ assay has been introduced as an ancillary test for diagnosing bovine tuberculosis to overcome limitations of the skin test.

A stochastic SIRI epidemic model with Lévy noise [PDF]

, 2018
Some diseases such as herpes, bovine and human tuberculosis exhibit relapse in which the recovered individuals do not acquit permanent immunity but return to infectious class. Such diseases are modeled by SIRI models.

Dual‐Peptide Nanoplatform: Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Functionalized With a Cell‐Penetrating Peptide and Loaded With Rationally Designed Antimicrobial Peptides for Tuberculosis Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Machine learning–guided engineering of a plectasin‐derived peptide yields DC05, a potent antimycobacterial candidate. Encapsulation into tuftsin‐functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles enhances intracellular delivery, stability, and activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis while maintaining low cytotoxicity and minimal hemolysis. The combined

M. caprae in northern Italy: a comprehensive analysis through whole-genome sequencing on the genetic variability in bovine herds

Veterinary Research
Mycobacterium (M.) bovis and M. caprae are the causative agents of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), which is still a concern due to its health implications and economic impact. Although M. caprae is less prevalent than M. bovis among bovine tuberculosis cases,

Matrixlysis, an improved sample preparation method for recovery of Mycobacteria from animal tissue material. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mycobacterium caprae, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, is the main causative agent of bovine tuberculosis in alpine regions. Bacterial culture is the gold standard in bovine tuberculosis diagnostic but takes up to twelve weeks.

Bovine tuberculosis in Swedish farmed deer [PDF]

, 2004
Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) was introduced into Swedish farmed deer herds in 1987. Epidemiological investigations showed that 10 deer herds had become infected (July 1994) and a common source of infection, a consignment of 168 imported farmed fallow deer ...

Pioneers in the Victorian provinces: veterinarians, public health and the urban animal economy [PDF]

, 2002
From the 1850s in Britain, concerns were growing about the role of animals in transmitting disease to man, whether through the food chain or through infection.

Engineered ETS1‐Nanoconjugate Restores Immune Homeostasis through Dual Immune‐Vascular Modulation in Relapsing and Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The biomimetic nanoplatform IMNP (ETS1 pDNA/PBAE@ITP‐MM) undergoes targeted disassembly at inflammatory vascular sites to release the ETS1 plasmid (pETS1). This release initiates a cascade of effects that inhibit pathogenic pathways and support immune homeostasis. (Abbreviations: EndMT, endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition; EC, endothelial cell; TC, T

Molecular Characterisation of Mycobacterium bovis Isolates from Cattle Slaughtered in Adamawa and Gombe States, North-Eastern Nigeria

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Bovine tuberculosis is endemic in Nigeria with control measures as provided by the laws of the country being minimally enforced mostly at the abattoirs only. This study focused on bovine tuberculosis in Adamawa and Gombe States. Tuberculosis lesions were
