Bovine tuberculosis strain tested in B.C. cow is distinct, not seen in Canada

OTTAWA — Canada’s chief veterinary officer says test results from a case of bovine tuberculosis found in a cow in British Columbia last November show a strain not seen before in Canada or the United States.
Jaspinder Komal says this TB isn’t connected to any cases previously detected in wild animals or domestic livestock.
Komal says a majority of the animals on a farm in B.C.’s southern Interior where a cow was first identified with bovine tuberculosis have been tested.
