Mycobacterium bovis isolates from tuberculous lesions in Chadian zebu carcasses

Emerging Infectious Diseases, Volume 12, No. 5, Year 2006

This slaughterhouse study in Chad shows higher proportions of Mycobacterium bovis isolates among Mbororo than Arabe zebu cattle. Spoligotyping shows a homogenetic population structure for M. bovis and lack of spacer 30, as were found in neighboring Cameroon and Nigeria. This finding suggests transborder and ongoing transmission between cattle.
