Spoligotyping, genotyping, and spatial distribution of Mycobacterium bovis in c...
Santos,Evelin S.V.; Alzamora Filho,Fernando; Santos,Bruno R.; Silva,Alana V.; Gomes,Harrison M.; Suffys,Philip N.; Costa,Joselito N.ABSTRACT: Mycobacterium bovis is responsible for bovine and buffalo tuberculosis, an important zoonotic disease with global distribution. The knowledge of the distribution and the precise identification of this disease, including advanced diagnoses such as spoligotyping, allows choosing the best strategies to fight the disease’s progress. The present work aimed to investigate mycobacteria’s presence, genotype t...
Isolation and genotyping of Mycobacterium bovis in suggestive lesions of tuberc...
Ferreira,Felipe F.; Oliveira,Maria L.M.; Alzamora Filho,Fernando; Santos,Bruno R.; Araújo,Luenny C.S.S.C.; Santos,Evelin S.V.; Gomes,Harrison M.ABSTRACT: Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis, which induces the development of nodular and granulomatous lesions in various animal tissues. The recognition of these suggestive gross lesions during postmortem sanitary inspection in slaughterhouses provides a presumptive diagnosis, which requires the use of complementary tests to confirm the disease. This study aim...
