DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2020.105254
Abstract: Effective screening methods are critical for preventing the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) among livestock and wildlife species. The tuberculin skin test (TST) remains the primary test for bTB globally, although performance is suboptimal. African… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tmaid.2017.03.007
Abstract: BACKGROUND Parasitic infections are known to modulate the immune response necessary for controlling Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. We sought to investigate species-specific effects of parasite infection on M. tuberculosis infection. METHODS As part of the Refugee Health… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2018.05.068
Abstract: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine available against tuberculosis and the tuberculin skin test (TST) is the most widely used method to detect BCG take. However, subjects may remain TST-negative, even after several BCG… read more here.
