Thermography of tuberculin reactions in cattle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The allergic reactions of dermal induration and hyperthermia were compared in tuberculin-hypersensitive calves. Tuberculins prepared from Mycobacterium avium, M. bovis, and M. paratuberculosis were administered intradermally and the responses were compared. The indurations from immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions were readily distinguishable, but the hyperthermic responses appeared to contain elements of both immediate and delayed hypersensitivity.

Isolation, Molecular Identification And Genomic Pattern of Mycobacterium Bovis Isolates Collected From Tuberculin-Positive Cattle in Infected Farms of Shiraz
Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the main cause of tuberculosis in cattle. At the global scale and also in Iran, the most frequent currently-in-use method in the detection of infected cattle is tuberculination. Objective: The present study was aimed to improve our genomic knowledge of Mycobacterium bovis population structure in cattle farms of Shiraz. Materials and Methods: Fifty pathologic...
متن کاملDiagnostics of tuberculosis and differentiation of nonspecific tuberculin reactions in animals.
Tuberculosis is a serious disease of humans and animals, caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium genus. This leads to complications in the life of the sick person, and subsequently to death. The cattle, who have been diagnosed with this bacterium, are usually sent to the slaughter, with the result that their livestock is reduced. Mycobacteriosis is also a disease, after determining which cattle...

Responses to bovine PPD's, measured by the increase in skin thickness, ranged between 0 and 2.2 mm in the cervical test, and between 0 and 1.7 mm in the caudal fold test. According to interpretation criteria, all animals proved to be tuberculin-negative. The interval between reactions achieved and the minimal positive value was less for the simple cervical than for the caudal and comparative ce...
متن کاملThe Role of Infrared Thermography as a Non-Invasive Tool for the Detection of Lameness in Cattle
The use of infrared thermography for the identification of lameness in cattle has increased in recent years largely because of its non-invasive properties, ease of automation and continued cost reductions. Thermography can be used to identify and determine thermal abnormalities in animals by characterizing an increase or decrease in the surface temperature of their skin. The variation in superf...

BACKGROUND Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic debilitating disease and is a cause of morbidity and mortality in livestock, wildlife and humans. This study estimated the prevalence and risk factors associated with bovine tuberculosis transmission in indigenous cattle at the human-animal interface in the Serengeti ecosystem of Tanzania. RESULTS A total of 1,103 indigenous cattle from 32 her...
