Results in brief
Volatolomics test for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis
Bovine tuberculosis is a serious global disease with significant impact on animal health, public health, and international trade. Bovine tuberculosis can be transmitted to humans by drinking unpasteurized milk from an infected cow or eating raw or undercooked meat from an infected animal. Therefore, accurate and efficient detection of bovine tuberculosis in animal populations remains of paramount importance for bovine tuberculosis control programs. The overall objective of this project is the development a new diagnosis test for bovine tuberculosis, suitable for being performed directly on the premises in an inexpensive, fast and non-invasive way, from the analysis of volatile compounds emitted by biological samples such as breath, feces and animals skin.

Project objective
Bovine tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other members of the M. tuberculosis complex, is a serious global disease with significant impact on animal health, public health, and international trade. This study will focus on investigating the feasibility of a non-invasive methodology for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in cattle. Our approach will be based on the detection via volatile organic compounds of the disease fingerprint in several non-invasive samples, employing analytical methods and chemical sensing devices.
