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 ...

New study by University College Dublin and others has shed light on why cattle gets TB, adding to a body of research into ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study identifying genetic factors contributing to bovine tuberculosis (bTB) susceptibility could represent an important step in the fight against the disease in cattle, and the zoonotic threat ...

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