  1. Surveillance for Bovine Tuberculosis in U.S. Livestock Tuberculosis Eradication Program Ruminant Health Programs Updated April 28, 2009

  2. Overview • Affected herds • Slaughter surveillance • Slaughter inspection • Granuloma lesions submitted for histopathology • Mexico origin cases • Live animal surveillance • Tuberculin skin testing • Gamma interferon testing • M. bovis in swine, Molokai Island, Hawaii

  3. Affected Herds*FY 2000–2009, United States *80 herds - 64% beef, 28% dairy, 2% mixed, 5% captive cervid

  4. Affected HerdsBy State, FY 2000–2009 Affected Herds *81 herds - 64% beef, 28% dairy, 2% mixed, 5% captive cervid

  5. Live Animal vs. Slaughter Surveillance — Finding Affected Cattle Herds, U.S., FY 2000–2009 Michigan, Minnesota (54) Rest of U.S. (28) Total affected cattle herds: 75 *No herd: 7 adult slaughter cases from California, Texas, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota — no affected herd was detected

  6. Granuloma Submissions from U.S. Slaughter Plants, 2000–2008 Submissions Fiscal Year

  7. Granuloma Submission Rates for Slaughtered Adult Cattle, 2000–2008 Submissions continue to exceed target! Target: 5/10,000 adult cattle slaughtered Target Rate Fiscal Year

  8. Granuloma Lesion Submission in “Top 40”Adult Cattle Slaughter Plants, FY 2008 • 5 lesions/10,000 killed (33) < 5 lesions/10,000 killed (7) - 133% increase from FY07 PR AK HI VI Modified accredited advanced status Modified accredited status

  9. M. bovis Positive Cattle From Slaughter Tissue Sample Submissions, 2001–2009 358 TB cases in 9 years!! Updated 4/28/2009

  10. Confirmed Cases of M. bovis from Slaughter Surveillance, FY 2009 • 18 positive by histology • 17 cattle cases • 11 confirmed M. bovis • PCR or culture • 5 – other Mycobacterium • M. avium (4), M. kansasii (1) • 1 – PCR negative, no culture • 1 confirmed M. bovis – captive elk Updated 4/28/2009

  11. Confirmed Cases of M. bovis from Slaughter Surveillance, FY 2009 • 6 adult cases • 3 from 1 MN buyout herd • North Dakota – infection not confirmed in herd • PA slaughter case – no ID, multiple traces/states under investigated • NE adult beef cow under investigation (new) • 1 captive elk, NE – herd confirmed infected • 5 cases in fed cattle • 2/5 (40%) Mexican origin • 1 – Chihuahua • 1 – Veracruz • 1 – roping steer SE US • 2 – under investigation Updated 4/28/2009

  12. Confirmed Cases of M. bovis from Slaughter Surveillance, FY 2008 • 42 cattle positive by histology • Of these, • 34 – confirmed M. bovis (PCR, culture) • 6 – other Mycobacterium • M. avium [5], M. intracellulare [1] • 2 – negative

  13. Confirmed Cases of M. bovis from Slaughter Surveillance, FY 2008 • 1 adult case, CA • 33 cases in fed cattle • 9/33 (27%) Mexican origin • 4 – Chihuahua, 2 – Coahuila, 2 – Tamaulipas • 1 – under investigation • 2 from Canada • 19 – Feedlot, TX • 1 – Domestic case, NE  MN • 3 – Investigation pending

  14. Location of 34 Cattle Positive for M. bovisDetected at SlaughterOctober 1, 2007–September 30, 2008 19 TX feedlot cases—assembled from KS/OK sales 33 fed 1 adult

  15. Outbreak of TB in TX FeedlotFY 2008 • 19 TB cases in two feeder groups • Origin of cattle were old rodeo steers (many “M” branded) assembled from sales in OK and KS • Infected steers exposed 3,000 heifers backgrounding in same feedlot (shared hospital pen) • Epi tracing completed for 300–600 heifers potentially exposed

  16. Genotyping in Epidemiologic Investigations Analysis of differences in nucleic acid sequences between strains of same species • Spoligotyping • Fast, but lacks discriminatory ability • RFLP–IS6110, PGRS (two types) • High discrimination, technically demanding, pattern comparison difficult when many strains • Mycobacteria Laboratory, NVSL is routinely genotyping M. bovis strains to assist investigations

  17. Genotyping Results, FY 2008 • California, three affected herds • Strain isolated from Herd 2 different from Herds 1 and 3 • CA, TX slaughter cases, 2 cases from Campeche • Herds 1 and 3, strain identical • Most similar to CA slaughter case FY97 and NM affected herd FY 08 • Feedlot outbreak with 19 affected cattle • All isolates identical — point source outbreak • Retired roping/rodeo cattle • Strains occurs infrequently in database — most similar to MX origin slaughter cases and untraceable SD case FY 05 • New York deer • Close match to early 1990’s NY cervid strains • Comparison of MN strains, 2005–2008 • From deer and cattle • All strains identical or minor variations

  18. TB Cases Identified per 100,000 Cattle Imported from Mexico, 1995–2008

  19. Cattle Imports from MexicoBy Import Cycle Year* 2003–2007 *Import cycle year ending August 31 Data source: Mexican Cattlemen’s Association

  20. Origin of Eight TB Cases with Mexican Eartags, FY 2008 Reviewed! 2 4 2

  21. Time Spent in U.S.Cattle of Mexican Origin

  22. Caudal Fold Test PerformanceCattle and Bison, FY 2006–2008 *As of October 15, 2008, 48 States

  23. Caudal Fold Test Results in CattleBy State,* FY 2008 < 0.05% in 6 States; 25,000 cattle State *States with > 300 tests (n=1,366,004 tests, 47 States and Puerto Rico) Source: AWBDS and States

  24. Bovine Gamma Interferon TestingFY 2006–2008 FY 2008 • 15,601 tests • Includes repeat testing of individuals • 94% of tests for cattle from 5 States • CA, MI, MN, NM, TX • Cattle tested from 20 states • Approved testing labs unchanged: TX, MI, CA, NVSL Annual tests by fiscal year, 2006-2008

  25. Bovine Interferon Gamma TestingFY 2008 • Increase in positives beyond expected • Spring 2008, two labs, dairy cattle—CA, NM • Avian tuberculin—new lot with decreased ability to stimulate cells during assay • Above does not fully explain findings • Additional hypotheses include “real” immune phenomena in cattle, conditions after sample drawn • Invalid results–cells do not stimulate • Rare, but requires repeated gamma testing or CCT to resolve • Manufacturer (Prionics) has identified need to find new source for stimulating bovine and avian antigens • Once antigen source identified, plan to evaluate new antigens side-by-side with currently used antigens • Currently, antigens sourced from Australia (CSL)

  26. Bovine Interferon Gamma Test ResultsBy Testing Laboratory, FY 2008

  27. Tuberculin Testing of Cervids FY 2006–2008 Source: AWBDS; as of October 8, 2008 for FY 2008

  28. Surveillance for M. bovis in Feral Swine, Molokai Island, Hawaii, FY 2007–2008 • 2008: tissues submitted for 59 animals; 7 confirmed* • 2007: 6 confirmed* • Feral swine reservoir • Cattle continue to test negative *Confirmed by PCR or culture
