A case of early neonate tuberculosis in a three weeks old calf in Ethiopia

Year: 2020

Type: preprint

Abstract: Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic disease rarely observed in an early age. Our observation of tubercle lesions in the lungs of a three week old calf and confirmation of Mycobacterium bovis strains illustrate that the progression of tuberculosis in neonates can be rapid under natural conditions, contributing to transmission within-herds.
