Article Synopsis
- * In a trial, 74 heifers were vaccinated with different strains and then exposed to naturally infected animals, but the initial vaccination did not produce an adequate immune response, and re-vaccination did not show significant protection against the disease.
- * The study found a 23% transmission of wild-style strains in non-vaccinated animals, and while some vaccine candidates showed promise in reducing lesions, overall results indicated that further evaluation is needed, as current vaccines did not ensure improved outcomes.
Ante-mortem diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is based mainly on the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the ɣ-IFN release assay (IGRA). Some infected animals escape screening tests, thus, limit herd sanitation. Previous reports have suggested a predominant pattern of multi-organ lesions attributable to (the causative agent of bTB) bacteraemia.
