Mycobacterium bovis is a slow-growing bacteria that is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. It is the causative organism of bovine tuberculosis, although it can also infect humans and other mammals. The bacteria is transmitted primarily through inhalation of contaminated aerosols or direct contact with infected animals. In humans, infection with M. bovis typically presents as a pulmonary infection, although it can also manifest as lymphadenitis or disseminated disease. Bovine tuberculosis is a significant problem in livestock populations worldwide, with economic and public health impacts. This bovine mycobacterium bovis ELISA kit can detect Mycobacterium bovis specific antibody in bovine serum.
