Mycobacterium bovis is responsible for TB in cattle and other mammals. Cattle, buffalo and bison, are the natural host of M. bovis, but nearly all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to the infection. In fact, compared to other bacteria of the MTB complex, M. bovis has a very broad range of animal hosts. This complicates the control of bovine TB, particularly when the infection becomes self-sustaining in wildlife species, which in turn can become reservoirs of M. bovis for domestic animals. Enfer Scientific is therefore proud to present a new technology for the Diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis Infection. Please read the recent publication in Clinical and Vaccine Immunology for more details: Multiplex immunoassay for serological diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle.

Link to abstract: http://cvi.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/15/12/1834 The Enferplex™ TB assay allows for multiple analysis of different analytes to be obtained from a single serum sample within one microplate well. The platform is an ELISA format and offers the high-throughput and ease of use associated with this type assay system. You can look at our brochure on the Enferplex™ TB Assay. Please click here. You can also view the technical insert. There are also posters on TB in goats , badgers and wild boar. Our partners: Fusion Antibodies Ltd. http://www.fusionantibodies.com See you at the M.
