RD301 / IASO BIO - LARVOL DELTA

Whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics of Mycobacterium orygis isolated from different animal hosts to identify specific diagnostic markers. (PubMed, Front Cell Infect Microbiol) - "Region of difference prediction showed absence of RD7, RD8, RD9, RD10, RD12, RD301, RD315 in all the M. orygis analyzed. SNPs in virulence gene, PE35 was found to be unique to M. orygis which can be used as marker for identification. The present study is yet another supportive evidence that M. orygis is more prevalent among animals in South Asia and the zoonotic potential of this organism needs to be evaluated."

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium orygis in wild ungulates in Chennai, South India. (PubMed, Transbound Emerg Dis) - "The deletion of RD7 to RD10, RDOryx_1, RDOryx_4, RD12Oryx, RD301 and RD315 further substantiated these isolates as M. orygis...Nevertheless, it would be wise to take into account the environment where there exists a high chance of transmission due to the increased human-animal interaction. Since it is well known that the pathogen is capable of causing infection in both human and animal hosts, systematic surveillance and screening of spotted deer, black buck as well as humans in the vicinity is essential for successful implementation of the One Health approach."
