ELISA using a recombinant chimera of ESAT-6/MPB70/MPB83 for Mycobacterium bovis...
SOUZA, I. I. F. de; RODRIGUES, R. de A.; JORGE, K. S. G.; SILVA, M. R.; LILENBAUM, W.; VIDAL, C. E. S.; ETGES, R. N.; KOSTOVIC, M.; ARAUJO, F. R.Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) control programs generally rely on intradermal tuberculin tests for the antemortem diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle, but these tests detect only a portion of the infected animals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic coverage of a combination of the bTB antemortem techniques known as the comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT) and an EL...

BACANELLI, G.; OLARTE, L. C.; SILVA, M. R.; RODRIGUES, R. A.; CARNEIRO, P. A. M.; KANEENE, J. B.; PASQUATTI, T. N.; TAKATANI, H.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.In this study, Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time-of-Flight (MALDITOF) mass spectrometry was used to identify Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue isolates from the North and South regions of Brazil, grown in solid medium and previously identified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based on Region of Difference 4 (RD4), sequencing and spoligotyping. For this purpose, the protein extr...

RODRIGUES, R. A.; MENESES, I. I. F. S.; JORGE, K. S. G.; SILVA, M. R.; SANTOS, L. R. dos; LILENBAUM, W.; ETGES, R. N.; ARAUJO, F. R.According to the Brazilian National Program for the Control and Eradication of Animal Brucellosis and Tuberculosis (PNCEBT), the routine tests for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in the country are the simple intradermal tuberculin test (SITT) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA), the caudal fold test and the comparative intradermal tuberculin test (CITT). The latter is also use...
