Abstract
In September 2016, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency responded to a case of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) detected in a mature beef cow from a cow-calf operation in Alberta, Canada. Due to potential exposure of numerous cattle herds, a large-scale investigation ensued to identify other potentially infected animals. When complete, the investigation identified a single infected herd. Six cows within the herd had tuberculosis lesions, with laboratory identification of Mycobacterium bovis. Given the outcome of the case response, Alberta continues to be recognised as being free from bTB. The bTB-free status of all other Canadian provinces also remains in place.
