Article Synopsis
- * Researchers isolated and sequenced genomes from 9 animal samples (4 cattle, 4 deer, and 1 buffalo) that died from tuberculosis and compared them to existing data, revealing a closed pangenome structure and a unique SNP in a virulence gene as a potential identification marker.
- * The findings indicate that this specific MTBC member is prevalent in South Asian animals, highlighting its zoonotic potential and the need for further evaluation of its impact on animal and human health.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which started in China, has created a panic among the general public and health care/laboratory workers. Thus far, there is no medication or vaccine to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. As the virus is airborne and transmitted through droplets, there has been significant demand for face masks and other personal protective equipment to prevent the spread of infection.

This isolate is derived from an Alpine goat that suffered from severe clinical disease during the 2008 outbreak in Morocco. The full genome sequence of this isolate clusters phylogenetically with the lineage IV isolates of PPRV, sharing high levels of sequence identity with other lineage IV isolates.
