Molecular Epidemiology and Genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolated in Baghdad
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Iraq but the strains responsible for the epidemic have been poorly characterized. Our aim was to characterize the TB strains circulating in Bagdad (Iraq). A total of 270 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains isolated between 2010 and 2011 from TB patients attending the Center of Chest and Respiratory diseases in Baghdad were analyz...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Cryptosporidium Infection of Cattle in Kerman/Iran and Molecular Genotyping of some Isolates
Background & Aims: Cryptosporidiosis is one of the most important parasitic zoonoses of human and animals. This infection is common in mammals and caused by the coccidian parasites of the genus Cryptosporidium. The Present study was designed to determine the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium infection in cattle in Kerman by using conventional morphological as well as molecular methods for molecul...
متن کاملGenotyping ofMycobacterium tuberculosis in China and Missing Links in the Chain of Ongoing Transmission of Tuberculosis
Worldwide, the epidemiology of tuberculosis varies widely from an uncommon disease refueled by immigration to highly endemic, with ongoing transmission as the driving force. Countries with the highest incidence rates are found in subSaharan Africa, whereas the highest absolute numbers of cases are recorded in India and China. The latter countries experience intermediate incidence rates, but hav...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis. II. Applications of genotyping.
The applications of genotyping of Mycobacterium bovis are reviewed. Published research to date has been conducted predominantly within the context of validating typing methods, and few studies have been specifically epidemiological. This is contrasted with the situation in human tuberculosis, where the application of restriction fragment length polymorphism typing using insertion sequence IS611...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis. I. Mycobacterium bovis genotyping.
The lack of a typing system for Mycobacterium bovis has, until recently, been an impediment to undertaking sophisticated epidemiological studies to assist in the control and eradication of tuberculosis in domestic animals. Molecular biology techniques for mycobacteria have been in development since the mid-1980s, leading to the availability of a number of genetic typing systems for M. bovis. Th...
