BIGI, M.; VAZQUEZ, C. L.; CASTELÃO, A. B. C.; GARCÍA, E. A.; CATALDI, A. A.; JACKSON, M.; MAcNEIL, M.; SORIA, M.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.; MATIAS, C.; GAGO, G.Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease that can affect cattle, other domesticated species, wild animals and humans. This disease produces important economic losses worldwide. Two M. bovis strains (04-303 and 534) have been isolated in Argentina. Whereas the 04-303 strain was isolated from a wild boar, the 534 strain was obtained from cattle. In...
Polymorphisms of 20 regulatory proteins between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and ...
BIGI, M. M.; BLANCO, F. C.; ARAUJO, F. R.; THACKER, T. C.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.; CATALDI, A. A.; SORIA, M. A.; BIGI, F.Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis are responsible for tuberculosis in humans and animals, respectively. Both species are closely related and belong to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC). M. tuberculosis is the most ancient species from which M. bovis and other members of the MTCevolved. The genome of M. bovis is over>99.95% identical to that of M. tuberculosis but with seven deletions...

PATANE, J. S. L.; MARTINS JUNIOR, J.; CASTELÃO, A. B.; NISHIBE, C.; MONTERA, L.; BIGI, F.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.; CATALDI, A. A.; FONSECA JUNIOR, A.Mycobacterium bovis is an important animal pathogen worldwide that parasitizes wild and domesticated vertebrate livestock as well as humans. A comparison of the five M. bovis complete genomes from the United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, and the United States revealed four novel large-scale structural variations of at least 2,000 bp.Acomparative phylogenomic study including 2,483 core genes of 38 taxa from eigh...
