Molecular Characterization of Mycobacterial Isolates Causing Tuberculosis in Humans and Animals in Northwest Ethiopia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Leen Rigouts, Ermias Diro, Bouke de Jong
Even though Ethiopia is one of the high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries, studies on molecular epidemiology of TB caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in the country are inadequate. In this study, we will determine the prevalence of TB, and characterize mycobacterial isolates causing TB among human and animal cases in Northwest Ethiopia, particularly in Gondar and surroundings. The study specifically aims todescribe the genetic ...
