Tuberculosis in goats

چکیده
Tuberculosis (Tb) in goats has always been considered of minor importance in New Zealand, even though the disease has been seen sporadically in feral goats captured. Within the last few years the demand for feral does as embryotransfer recipients and the search for feral cashmere genes have resulted in the extensive capture and distribution of feral goats throughout New Zealand. Many of the capture operations have been centred in areas known to have continuing Tb problems in cattle and deer, associated with established infections in the local possum (Trichosuris vulpecula) populations.

Caprine TB is important as milk is usually consumed raw particularly by Ethiopian pastoralists. The objectives of the present study were to estimate the prevalence of TB in goats at an abattoir, to evaluate associated risk fac...

متن کاملOral Vaccination with Heat-Inactivated Mycobacterium bovis Does Not Interfere with the Antemortem Diagnostic Techniques for Tuberculosis in Goats
Vaccination against tuberculosis (TB) is prohibited in cattle or other species subjected to specific TB eradication campaigns, due to the interference that it may cause with the official diagnostic tests. However, immunization with a heat-inactivated (HI) Mycobacterium bovis vaccine via the oral route has been suggested to overcome this issue. In this study, the main goal was to assess the inte...

with advanced TB may occur, given the endemic nature of TB in humans in Nigeria (10). TB cases caused by EAI strains have been found in humans in southwestern Nigeria (4; S.I. Cadmus et al., unpub. data), a fi nding that supports zoonotic transmission of this organism from humans to goats. However, different lineages of M. tuberculosis may vary in host range, and EAI genotype strains may be ada...
