Bovine immunodeficiency is a chronic progressive disease caused by a lentivirus that affects cattle and buffaloes. Although the infection has been described in cattle in some countries, including in Brazil, there are only two reports of infection in buffaloes: one in Pakistan and one in Cambodia. The aim of the present study was to survey the occurrence of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) in water buffaloes from the Amazon region, Pará state, Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis poses a significant threat to cattle production, causing economic losses and having a zoonotic potential.
- A study in Pará, Brazil, tested 1140 buffaloes using a comparative cervical test (CCT), revealing 4.65% positive cases for tuberculosis, with additional inconclusive and negative results.
- The findings suggest that CCT is an effective diagnostic tool, with good sensitivity (71.43%) and specificity (82.61%), indicating a low prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis among the tested buffaloes.
