Abstract

A real-time PCR protocol for detecting Mycobacterium bovis in feces was evaluated in bovine tuberculosis-infected African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Fecal samples spiked with 1.42×10³ cells of M. bovis culture/g and Bacille Calmette-Guérin standards with 1.58×10¹ genome copies/well were positive by real-time PCR but all field samples were negative.
