Abstract
A carcass of 6-year-old female buffalo was brought to Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Science, A.A.U., Khanapara for necropsy examination. The carcass was emaciated with sunken eyes. Gross examination revealed tubercles in lungs, liver and pleura. Lymph nodes were enlarged with caseo-necrotic foci in the cortical region. Microscopically, necrotic granulomas of lungs were characterized by central area of caseous necrosis with calcification surrounded by epithelioid macrophages, Langhans-type multinucleated giant cells and lymphocytes. Special staining with Ziehl-Neelsen stain confirmed the presence of acid-fast organisms in the impression smear as well as tissue sections from the affected lungs. Based on gross, histopathology and Ziehl-Neelsen staining, and identification by targeting Mycobacteria genus specific hsp65 gene with 441bp from ADMAC, college of veterinary science, khanapara gave a straight forward diagnosis of Bovine Tuberculosis was made.
