Genomic epidemiology of <i>Mycobacterium bovis</i> infection in sympatric badger and cattle populations in Northern Ireland

2021-03-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a costly, epidemiologically complex, multi-host, endemic disease. Pathogen whole genome sequencing can improve the resolution of epidemiological tracing. We genome sequenced an exceptional data set of 619 Mycobacterium bovis isolates from badgers and cattle in a 100km 2 bTB ‘hotspot’. Historical molecular subtyping data permitted the targeting of an endemic patho...
