      Infection with the Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) causes a disease referred to as bovine tuberculosis (bTB), which affects a wide range of mammal hosts. Many countries have implemented control and eradication plans that ...
    • Bovine tuberculosis in domestic pigs: Genotyping and distribution of isolates in Argentina 

      Barandiaran, Soledad; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Pérez, Andrés M.; Cataldi, Angel Adrian; Zumarraga, Martin Jose (Elsevier, 2015-12)
      Bovine tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium bovis and affects primarily cattle, among many other mammal species. In this study, 250 isolates of M. bovis collected from pigs slaughtered in Argentina were typed by ...
    • Development of a lateral flow immunochromatography test for the rapid detection of bovine tuberculosis 

      Alonso, Maria Natalia; Griffa, Natanael; Moyano, Roberto Damián; Mon, Maria Laura; Colombatti Olivieri, Maria Alejandra; Barandiaran, Soledad; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Fiorini, Gonzalo; Canal, Ana María; Santangelo, María De La Paz; Singh, Mahavir G.; Romano, Maria Isabel (Elsevier, 2021-04)
      Detection of specific antibodies would be a useful test strategy for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) as a complement to the single skin test. We developed a lateral flow immunochromatography (LFIC) test for rapid bTB detection ...
    • Epidemiology of Pig Tuberculosis in Argentina 

      Barandiaran, Soledad; Marfil, Maria Jimena; Capobianco, Guillermo; Perez Aguirreburualde, María Sol; Zumarraga, Martin Jose; Eirin, Maria Emilia; Cuerda, Maria Ximena; Winter, Marina; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Pérez, Andrés Maximiliano; La Sala, Luciano Francisco (Frontiers Editorial, 2021-07)
      Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a disease caused mainly by the Mycobacterium bovis and that is endemic to livestock populations in most Latin American countries. Traditionally, bTB control programs are costly and targeted to ...
    • Mycobacterioses in dogs and cats from Buenos Aires, Argentina 

      Barandiaran, Soledad; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Falzoni, Elvira; Marfil, Maria Jimena; Perez Tort, Gabriela; Rovatti, Paula; Fernandez, Mónica; Iachini, Ricardo; Satek, Fernanda; Duchene, Adriana; Zumarraga, Martin Jose (Sage Publications, 2017-09)
      Mycobacterioses can produce nonspecific clinical signs in dogs and cats that make diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, the full characterization of mycobacterial agents is not always possible or practical. We characterized ...
    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a free‑ranging urban dog from Argentina 

      Marfil, Maria Jimena; Barandiaran, Soledad; Zumarraga, Martin Jose; Germani, Ludmila; Faccini, Tamara; Linares, Marcelo; Capra, Silvana; Gramajo, Laura; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Falzoni, Elvira (Springer, 2022-02)
      Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium are the most important Mycobacteria isolated from diseased dogs, but Mycobacterium tuberculosis can be isolated as well, especially when close contact with humans exists. Free ...
    • Tuberculosis in swine co-infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis and Mycobacterium bovis in a cluster from Argentina 

      Barandiaran, Soledad; Pérez, Andrés M.; Gioffre, Andrea; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Cataldi, Angel Adrian; Zumarraga, Martin Jose (Cambridge University Press, 2015-04)
      In Argentina little is known about the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) infection in swine. We characterized the epidemiological dynamics of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in a swine population of Argentina ...
