“…The outbreak as the previous one in Bieszczady mountains was connected to Mycobacterium caprae [31,35]. Reports of tuberculosis in captive European bison caused by M. bovis in German and Brazilian zoos underline the need for control in the species being important bTB reservoir worldwide [55][56][57].…”

In 2019, the 90th anniversary of the restitution of European bison (wisent) will be celebrated. Therefore, the chapter discusses the past, present, and future health threats of the Bison bonasus species that was on the edge of world extinction at the beginning of the twentieth century and was restituted with great efforts from many researchers, breeders, forestry workers, and caretakers. Due to the dramatic genetic "bottleneck" that depleted the gene pool, increasing the inbred of today's European bison, the breeding may face problems of decreased fertility, deficiency in growth, and increased susceptibility to diseases. While the increasing numbers of European bison may be enjoyed by breeders, the suitable habitat for the largest herbivore in Europe shrinks with increasing human population density, forestry, and agricultural activity. Additional threats include inappropriate management based on animal farming rather than sylvatic ecosystems, need for supplementary winter feeding, and establishment of breeding of related species such as American bison (Bison bison) in Europe. The control of European bison exposure to pathogens through passive and active surveillance is a key component of the species conservation. Hereby, the current knowledge on the epidemiology of the most significant infectious diseases in European bison is presented.

“…Four Brazilian M. bovis isolates obtained from one captive European bison (Bison bonasus) (Zimpel et al, 2017b), two captive llamas (Llama glama), and one captive capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) (provided by the Laboratory of Bacterial Zoonosis of the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of São Paulo, Brazil) were reactivated in Stonebrink medium and a single colony was sub-cultured for DNA extraction using a previously described protocol (Zimpel et al, 2017a). DNA quality was evaluated using Nanodrop 2000c (Thermo Scientific, MA, United States) and Agilent 2100 High Sensitivity Chip DNA Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, CA, United States).…”

Mycobacterium bovis is the main causative agent of zoonotic tuberculosis in humans and frequently devastates livestock and wildlife worldwide. Previous studies suggested the existence of genetic groups of M. bovis strains based on limited DNA markers (a.k.a. clonal complexes), and the evolution and ecology of this pathogen has been only marginally explored at the global level. We have screened over 2,600 publicly available M. bovis genomes and newly sequenced four wildlife M. bovis strains, gathering 1,969 genomes from 23 countries and at least 24 host species, including humans, to complete a phylogenomic analyses. We propose the existence of four distinct global lineages of M. bovis (Lb1, Lb2, Lb3, and Lb4) underlying the current disease distribution. These lineages are not fully represented by clonal complexes and are dispersed based on geographic location rather than host species. Our data divergence analysis agreed with previous studies reporting independent archeological data of ancient M. bovis (South Siberian infected skeletons at ∼2,000 years before present) and indicates that extant M. bovis originated between 715 and 3,556 years BP, with later emergence in the New World and Oceania, likely influenced by trades among countries.

AbstractMycobacterium bovis is the main causative agent of zoonotic tuberculosis in humans and frequently devastates livestock and wildlife worldwide. Previous studies suggested the existence of genetic groups of M. bovis strains based on limited DNA markers (a.k.a. clonal complexes), and the evolution and ecology of this pathogen has been only marginally explored at the global level. We have screened over 2,600 publicly available M. bovis genomes and newly sequenced two wildlife M. bovis strains, gathering 823 genomes from 21 countries and 21 host-species, including humans, to complete a phylogenomic analyses. We propose the existence of four distinct global lineages of M. bovis (Lb1, Lb2, Lb3 and Lb4) underlying the current disease distribution. These lineages are not fully represented by clonal complexes and are dispersed based on geographic location rather than host species. Our data divergence analysis agreed with previous studies reporting independent archeological data of ancient M. bovis [(South Siberian infected skeletons at ∼2,000 years BP (before present)] and indicates that extant M. bovis originated during the Roman period, subsequently dispersing across the world with the discovery and settlement of the New World and Oceania, directly influenced by trades among countries.
