Molecular characterization of Mycobacterium bovis from livestock and wildlife in South Africa : genetic marker optimization and identification using whole genome sequence data

Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, which are bacteria that infect both domestic and wildlife host species. The zoonotic nature of the disease is of great concern globally. Over 50 million animals are infected all...
