Host Serum Proteins as Potential Biomarkers of Bovine Tuberculosis Resistance Phenotype
Eradication of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) continues to be a worldwide challenge. The lack of reliable vaccines dampens the control and eradication programs of Mycobacterium bovis infection and spread. Selection and breeding of cattle resistant to M. bovis infection would greatly enhance the effective...

Eradication of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) continues to be a worldwide challenge. The lack of reliable vaccines dampens the control and eradication programs of Mycobacterium bovis infection and spread. Selection and breeding of cattle resistant to M. bovis infection would greatly enhance the effectiveness of bTB eradication programs. Here, we have evaluated the potential of serum proteins as biomarkers of cattle resistance to bTB in Holstein-Friesian cows, 6–8-year-old, born and raised in similar conditions in herds with bTB prevalence >30%.
