BOVINE MEAT PRODUCTION CHAIN II
Biotech strategies for the control of bacterial, viral and intracelular protozoan diseases in bovine cattle of the MERCOSUR region.
General objective:
Generation and evaluation of experimental vaccines against bovine tuberculosis and paratuberculosis.(TTB) and (PTB). Development of multiple pathogen macroarrays for the diagnostics of Bovine diseases that pose a human health risk, cause abortions and are advancing in the Mercosur región. These diseases will be TB, PTB, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Bovine Viral diarrhoea, Babesiosis, Neosporosis, Anaplasmosis.
