      Introduction: M. bovis is worldwide distributed mainly affecting livestock. Caudal Fold-Tuberculin Skin Test (CF-TST) is the primary screening tool that detects the infection in herds. Some tuberculous animals remain ...
    • Limited usefulness of the IS6110 touchdown-PCR in blood for tuberculin skin test false-negative cattle with serological response to Mycobacterium bovis
