Abstract

Mycobacterium bovis is the primary cause of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and infects a wide range of domestic animal and wildlife species and humans. In Germany, bTB still emerges sporadically in cattle herds, free-ranging wildlife, diverse captive animal species, and humans. In order to understand the underlying population structure and estimate the population size fluctuation through time, we analyzed 131 M. bovis strains from animals ( n  = 38) and humans ( n  = 93) in Germany from 1999 to 2017 by whole-genome sequencing (WGS), mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit–variable-number tandem-repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing, and spoligotyping.
