Mycobacterium bovis is a bacterium that causes tuberculosis in animals, particularly cattle. It can also infect humans, usually through consumption of contaminated animal products. Research on Mycobacterium bovis focuses on understanding its transmission dynamics, developing better diagnostic tools, studying its interactions with the host immune system, and developing vaccines and treatments to control its spread in both animals and humans. The goal of this research is to improve the prevention, detection, and management of Mycobacterium bovis infections in order to protect both animal and human health.
