The burden and control of bovine tuberculosis in endemic settings
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a major disease in cattle and also poses a public health risk due to transmission from animals to humans. The effectiveness of traditionally used strategies to control bTB, such as test-and-slaughter, varies considerably and the disease still persists in several places. …

The identification of bovine tuberculosis in zooarchaeological assemblages. Working towards differential diagnostic criteria.
The study of human palaeopathology has developed considerably in the last three decades resulting in a structured and standardised framework of practice, based upon skeletal lesion patterning and differential diagnosis. By comparison, disarticulated zooarchaeological assemblages have precluded the …

Understanding animal movements to inform bovine tuberculosis surveillance: a framework for a targeted approach
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic disease that affects domestic and wildlife species. In recent years in the US, a novel scenario for bTB has arisen, characterized by sporadic outbreaks in cattle populations across the country and by spillover of the infection to wildlife. The cattle …

Applying Theory To Management: Assessing the Practicality of Leopold's Land Ethic and the Risk Information and Processing (RISP) Model for Wildlife Management
… of northwest Minnesota deer hunters after bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) was detected in the local whitetail deer population, and (2) farmers' attitudes towards and motivations for participation in federal conservation programs beneficial to wildlife. The first of these projects …

Population genetic frameworks and functional genomics of Mycobacterium bovis
Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic infection of cattle caused by Mycobacterium bovis. Approximately one-third of the world's population is infected with M. tuberculosis or M. bovis, "the world's most successful pathogen", the majority in developing countries. The global spread and increasing …

TUBERCULOSE EM BOVINOS NO SERTÃO PARAIBANO NO PÉRIODO DE 2006 A 2015
Bovine tuberculosis is a global zoonosis that causes concern in the Health and Inspection Bodies diagnosed by the tuberculinization test. This study aims to show the frequency of tuberculosis in the Meso-region Sertão Paraibano, from January 2006 to December 2015. The data were provided by the …

Prevalence of tuberculosis in childhood and the conditions of our milk supply
1. The Prevalence of tuberculosis in childhood is extremely great. 2. There is evidence to prove that our milk supply is in part responsible. 3. The recent advances in the control of tuberculosis have not benefited the infant population as much as the adult owing to this fact of an infected milk …

Understanding the epidemiology of bovine TB and potential routes of infection by elucidation of fine-scale badger behaviour and movement
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is an endemic, zoonotic disease in cattle and badgers, which threatens animal health, farm productivity and commercial earnings within the U.K. and Ireland. Culling of badgers has been suggested as a potentially useful protocol to reduce the incidence of bTB in badgers and …

Improving the genome assembly and annotation of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis)
… disease, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, and bovine tuberculosis. Genomic resources facilitate the study of pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, host genetic variation, and behavior. Repetitive elements are ubiquitous within mammalian genomes, and long single-molecule reads produced by …

Contributions to the mathematical theory of epidemic dynamics
… by forecasting possible outcomes of a bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) epidemic in a white-tailed deer (Odocoileits virgmiamis) population using data from a recent epidemic in Michigan. I conclude that the best use of epidemic forecasting exercises is to identify critical gaps …

Creating a Marked Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Vaccine Strain and Detecting Marker-Specific Immune Responses in Calves
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiological agent of Johne’s disease, a chronic, contagious granulomatous enteritis with a high global prevalence in dairy cattle. This disease causes significant economic loss in the dairy industry and has been challenging to control due to …

Cattle and badger dynamics in relation to the potential transmission of Mycobacterium bovis
The transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between and among cattle and badgers represents an area of research which continues to pose many questions in the pursuit to eradicate the disease from cattle herds within the UK and Ireland. Predominant queries remain over when and where both species become …

Investigation of DNA variation in genes of the immune system in wild populations of Apodemus sylvaticus in relation to infection by Toxoplasma gondii and helminth parasites
… of wild voles with Borrelia and cattle with bovine tuberculosis, has demonstrated that the DNA sequence (and therefore the protein sequence) of toll-like receptors (TLRs) is correlated with infection status. Recent laboratory studies on mice showed that the genes for TLR11 or TLR12 are …

Epidémiologie de la brucellose et de la tuberculose animales dans les milieux urbain, périurbain et rural au Niger
Contexte : La brucellose et la tuberculose bovine sont considérées par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) comme des maladies zoonotiques majeures mais négligées et cosmopolites. En Afrique subsaharienne (ASS), l’impact de ces maladies sur la santé humaine et animale ainsi que sur le plan …
