A new study identifying genetic factors contributing to bovine tuberculosis (bTB) susceptibility could represent an important ...

We test three times to maximise the chance of identifying a TB positive animal (maximising the sensitivity of the test). Unfortunately this approach gives us an increased chance of 'false positive ...

Subsequently, we have successfully developed a genetic system, which uses the animal as a selective medium to identify M. tuberculosis genes specifically induced during infection. These in vivo ...

A study has identified key genetic factors that may explain why some cattle are more susceptible to bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a disease that poses a significant threat to both animal and human health ...

Researchers at University College Dublin, University of Edinburgh, and ETH Zurich have carried out the first scientific study that directly links genetic variation underpinning bovine TB disease ...

A new study identifies genetic factors contributing to bovine tuberculosis susceptibility, offering insights for disease ...
