“…This database is freely accessible and includes maps of those countries reporting new spoligotypes. Other widely used databases, such as SITVIT2, SITVITbovis [ 16 ] or MIRU-VNTRplus [ 17 ], contain data on MTBC isolates mostly obtained from clinical cases in humans. In Spain, mycoDB.es is of paramount importance: this database was established in 2008 thanks to collaboration between the MAPA and VISAVET-UCM, and contains epidemiological and molecular data concerning all MTBC isolates (mainly M. bovis and M. caprae ) obtained in Spain.…”

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a severe zoonotic disease that has major impacts on both health and the economy, and which has been subjected to specific eradication programmes in many countries for decades. This manuscript highlights the relevance of this disease in the context of the European Union (EU) and summarizes the epidemiological situation and the main tools (e.g. antemortem diagnostic tests, slaughterhouse surveillance, laboratories, comprehensive databases, etc.) used to control and eradicate bTB in the various EU countries with a focus on the situation in Spain. A comprehensive description of the specific bTB epidemiological situation in Spain is provided, together with an assessment of the evolution of different epidemiological indicators throughout the last decades. Moreover, the main features of the Spanish bTB eradication programme and its control tools are described, along with the studies carried out in Spain that have allowed the updating of and improvement to the programme over the years with the aim of eradication, which has been established for 2030.

“…The SITVIT databases and other resources ( Couvin et al , 2017 , 2022 , 2019 , 2020 ; Demay et al , 2012 ) developed by researchers at the Institut Pasteur de la Guadeloupe have provided a more complete global view of the molecular epidemiology of MTBC for public health surveillance. These resources are available online and may be of use to researchers working specifically on these bacterial organisms.…”

Sequencing and other biological data are now more frequently available and at a lower price. Mutual tools and strategies are needed to analyze the huge amount of heterogeneous data generated by several research teams and devices. Bioinformatics represents a growing field in the scientific community globally. This multidisciplinary field provides a great amount of tools and methods that can be used to conduct scientific studies in a more strategic way. Coordinated actions and collaborations are needed to find more innovative and accurate methods for a better understanding of real life data. A wide variety of organizations are contributing to KaruBioNet in Guadeloupe (French West Indies), a Caribbean archipelago. The purpose of this group is to foster collaboration and mutual aid among people from different disciplines using a ‘one health’ approach, for a better comprehension and surveillance of humans, plants, or animals’ health and diseases. The KaruBioNet network particularly aims to help researchers in their studies related to ‘omics’ data, but also more general aspects concerning biological data analysis. This transdisciplinary network is a platform for discussion, sharing, training and support between scientists interested in bioinformatics and related fields. Starting from a little archipelago in the Caribbean, we envision to facilitate exchange between other Caribbean partners in the future, knowing that the Caribbean is a region with non-negligible biodiversity which should be preserved and protected. Joining forces with other Caribbean countries or territories would strengthen scientific collaborative impact in the region.

Furthermore, a dedicated “Galaxy KaruBioNet” platform is available at: http://calamar.univ-ag.fr/c3i/galaxy_karubionet.html.

“…14 In the past, M. bovis genotyping methods have mostly relied on PCR-based assays to evaluate a few of the genetic markers. 15 Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of M. bovis will eventually substitute some challenging analyses as the cost per genome continues to drop, while also allowing for the required high resolution analysis of outbreaks. 16 These genetic techniques offer valuable insights into the causes of infection, the transmission routes, the geographic localization, and the preferred hosts, as well as the dynamics and risk factors of the disease, 17 thus promoting the reduction or elimination of the infection.…”
