Abstract
Genetic differences between Mycobacterium bovis and M. tuberculosis were identified. We found (i) a deletion of Rv3479 specific to M. bovis , (ii) that the rpfA gene is shortened to various extents in M. bovis , and (iii) an insertion in Rv0648 and a duplication of lppA common in M. tuberculosis complex isolates.Keywords
