R.The aim of this study was to characterize Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue samples, from two Brazilian states, and to analyse their genetic diversity by spoligotyping. Tissue samples from tuberculosis suspect animals, 57 in Amazonas State (12 cattle and 45 buffaloes) and six from Pará State (5 cattle and one buffalo) from slaughterhouses under State Veterinary Inspection, were isolated in cult...

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...

CARNEIRO, P. A. M.; TAKATANI, H.; PASQUATTI, T. N.; SILVA, C. B. D. G.; NORBY, B.; WILKINS, M. J.; ZUMÁRRAGA, M. J.; ARAUJO, F. R.; KANEENE, J. B.Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB) is an endemic disease in about one hundred countries, affecting the economy causing a decrease in productivity, condemnation of meat, and damaging the credibility on international trade. Additionally, Mycobacterium bovis the major causative agent for BTB can also infect humans causing a variety of clinical presentations. The aim of this study was to determine BTB prevalence and the mai...
