Chromosomal
aberrations in
buffalo with brucellosis and cattle with tuberculosis, Online Journal of veterinary Research, 11
(1) : 12-22, 2007. Chromosomal
structural aberrations were found to be more frequent in buffaloes with
brucellosis (5.40 ± 0.72)
or cattle with tuberculosis (5.55 ± 0.52), than
in non-infected controls (2.20 ± 0.45)
and (3.11 ± 0.60), respectively. Chromosomal
abnormalities may be
implicated in the pathogenesis of brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis.
