Panama remains free of zoonotic tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis. However, DNA fingerprinting of 7 M. bovis isolates from a 2013 bovine tuberculosis outbreak indicated minimal homology with strains previously circulating in Panama. M. bovis dispersion into Panama highlights the need for enhanced genotype testing to track zoonotic infections.

To estimate the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in the Alpine region, we studied the epidemiology of Mycobacterium caprae in wildlife during the 2009-2012 hunting seasons. Free-ranging red deer (Cervus elaphus) were a maintenance host in a hot-spot area, mainly located in Austria.

The eradication of tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis infection) from cattle herds may be compromised if infected wildlife species, such as European badgers (Meles meles), share the same environment and contribute to transfer of infection. Options for dealing with tuberculosis in this wild reservoir host are limited by conservation and social concerns, despite a clear implication that infected b...

The essay "COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN CONCERN WITH USING SOME DIAGNOSIS TESTS WITHIN BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS'' is scientifically and practically justified by the following viewpoints: nowadays tuberculosis is still one of the main animals' diseases; tuberculosis produces high economic losses and continue to be one of the big risks concerning people's health; despite the fact that with the scope of pre...

Disease maps are important tools in the management of disease. By communicating risk, disease maps can help raise awareness of disease and encourage farmers and veterinarians to employ best practice to eliminate the spread of disease. However, despite the importance of disease maps in communicating risk and the existence of various online disease maps, there are few studies that explicitly exam...

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium bovis is responsible for bovine and buffalo tuberculosis, an important zoonotic disease with global distribution. The knowledge of the distribution precise identification this disease, including advanced diagnoses such as spoligotyping, allows choosing best strategies to fight disease’s progress. present work aimed investigate mycobacteria’s presence, genotype their stra...

BACKGROUND Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the main causative agent of bovine zoonotic tuberculosis. The aim of this systematic review is to highlight the occupational exposure to bovine tuberculosis due to M. bovis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A computer based literature search was carried out to identify papers published between January 2006 and March 2017. "PubMed, Cochrane Library an...

During 1969-84 Mycobacterium bovis was isolated from 20 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. This represented less than 1% of the total cases of respiratory tuberculosis confirmed bacteriologically at the Liverpool Public Health Laboratory during this period. All 20 patients were considered to have reactivated disease and all presented with the typical features of respiratory tuberculosis. Dur...

The study was carried out in zoo animals at Islamabad Zoo, Pakistan to know the prevalence of bovinetuberculosis. An overall prevalence of 3.3% was recorded in zoo animals with 3.6% in Bovidae, 3.2% inCervidae and 0% in Equidae families. The positive animals included spotted deer (1/3; 95% CI = 0.84,90.57), Chinkara gazella (1/5; 95% CI = 0.51, 71.64) and Blackbuck gazelle (1/30; 95% CI = 0.08,...
