- Abstract
Using deletion typing technique, five mycobacteria isolated from unpasteurised milk samples from cows in north-central Nigeria were characterized as Mycobacterium bovis ( n = 4) and M. africanum ( n = 1). This report emphasizes that transmission between the animal and human reservoir is a serious threat in Nigeria.
