Abstract
Mycobacterium orygis-Associated Tuberculosis in Free-Ranging Rhinoceros, Nepal, 2015.
Highlights
M. microti was previously isolated on the basis of a skin test–positive result for cattle in the United Kingdom [8], which demonstrated the risk for infection in livestock
Specific tests are needed to accurately identify M. bovis infection at antemortem examination through use of specific antigens, such as ESAT 6 and CFP10, which are absent in M. microti and are currently used in the interferon-g test in France [9]
In a previous study [2], we isolated and molecularly characterized M. orygis isolates from wild animals living in a captive facility in Kathmandu, Nepal
