Detection of Mycobacterium Bovis in Buffaloes Blood through Polymerase Chain Reaction (pcr) and Tuberculin Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was conducted in buffaloes to detect the M. bovis in blood samples through PCR. The PCR assay was described which could detect M. bovis infection in blood samples that were apparently negative in PPD of tubercle bacilli. A total of 100 buffaloes blood samples were tested and 2.0 % buffaloes were found positive for M. bovis infection through single comparative cervical intradermal tuberculin test (SCCIDTT) while 54 % were found positive for M. bovis infection through PCR. The positive cases were analyzed in the background of their history. History revealed that these positive buffaloes were reared in a populated herd for a long time. This study provides an evidence of bovine tuberculosis caused by M. bovis in buffaloes which are main source of milk and meat is South Asia.

Development of one-tube multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detecting Mycobacterium bovis
A multiplex PCR (m-PCR) with primers targeting the 16S rRNA, Rv3873 and a 12.7-kb fragment in the genomes of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex was designed for the differential diagnosis of M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. bovis BCG and non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium (NTM). The specificity of this assay was 100%, and the detection limit was 15 pg of genomic DNA. Of the 206 blinded clinical samp...

Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial disease of animals and humans caused by Mycobacterium bovis. In a large number of countries bovine tuberculosis is a major infectious disease among cattle and other domesticated animals. M. bovis can infect humans, primarily by the ingestion of unpasteurized dairy products but also in aerosols and through breaks in the skin. Raw or undercooked meat can...

Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the main cause of tuberculosis in cattle. At the global scale and also in Iran, the most frequent currently-in-use method in the detection of infected cattle is tuberculination. Objective: The present study was aimed to improve our genomic knowledge of Mycobacterium bovis population structure in cattle farms of Shiraz. Materials and Methods: Fifty pathologic...
