A cross-sectional study undertaken to determine the herd prevalence of Bovine Tuberculosis using single intradermal tuberculin testing (SITT), culture isolation, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct detection of bovine TB by a molecular-based method was found more sensitive and specific than conventional bacterial culture method. The Pre-scapular lymph node aspirate was found to be the most suitable specimen for culture isolation and PCR-based detection of Mycobacterium spp. among live infected animals. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/306120273_Evaluation_of_complementary_diagnostic_tools_for_bovine_tuberculosis_detection_in_dairy_herds_from_India

We are using CITT and IFN Gamma for detection of bovine tuberculosis. So far it appears to be good. Along with SITT/CITT and PCR, IFN Gamma may add value to detect bovine tuberculosis at herd level.
Dear Bhoj Raj,
What do you think about using of qPCR method for rapid detection and diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis?
We use this valued tool for rapid diagnosis of Fish Tuberculosis.
