Zoonotic tuberculosis in Catalonia, Spain: Phylogenetic insights into Mycobacterium bovis and M. caprae transmission at the human-livestock interface
10 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
This genomic epidemiology study analyzed Mycobacterium bovis and M. caprae isolates from animals and humans in Catalonia, Spain, between 2005 and 2023. Of 42 human tuberculosis (TB) cases, five were phylogenetically linked to livestock outbreaks, suggesting zoonotic transmission. The findings specifically indicate goats as a primary source of M. caprae transmission to humans. The study also revealed unexpected...
