Complete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium bovis Strains Affiliated with Bovine Tuberculosis Outbreaks in Canada in 2016 and 2018

Abstract

Mycobacterium bovis is the primary causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a zoonotic infectious disease that presents a risk to public health, livestock, and wildlife. Here, we report complete genome sequences of two Mycobacterium bovis strains affiliated with bovine tuberculosis outbreaks in Canadian cattle farms in 2016 and 2018.

Recent progress in the genotyping of bovine tuberculosis and its rapid diagnosis via nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors

“…4 Regardless of successful worldwide notication calls, the real effect of bTB in livestock is rarely adequately reported, particularly in wild animals and in nations with undeveloped control measures. 5 bTB is caused by M. bovis and it is considered to spill-over between hosts. 6 It usually spreads to people aer close contact with diseased animals or the consumption of soiled, unpasteurized dairy products.…”
