Resumo: Water buffalo are of great economic importance in Brazilian Amazonia, which has the largest herd in Brazil. Bovine tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis is a zoonotic disease that results in severe losses to water buffalo production. Although the disease has already been described in the country, data on the occurrence and distribution of bovine tuberculosis in water buffalo in Brazil is very scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of bovine tuberculosis in water buffalo in the Baixo Araguari River region of Amapá, Brazil. Thirty herds, randomly selected from the 41 herds of water buffalo in the region, were sampled. From those herds, 212 randomly selected water buffalo were subjected to the comparative tuberculin skin test. The proportion of Baixo Araguari River region herds that were positive for bovine tuberculosis was 50.0% (95% CI 31.3% to 68.7%) and the proportion of animals that were positive was estimated to be 14.8% (95% CI 7.8% to 21.9%). Our results show that bovine tuberculosis is spread widely among water buffalo in the Baixo Araguari River region, which suggests that measures to control the disease should be undertaken in the region.

A tuberculose causada pelo Mycobacterium bovis é uma zoonose que leva a perdas severas na criação de búfalos. Apesar de já ter sido descrita no país, dados sobre a ocorrência e distribuição da tuberculose em búfalos no Brasil são escassos. O presente estudo investigou a frequência de tuberculose em búfalos na região do Baixo Araguari, Amapá. Trinta rebanhos, selecionados ao acaso dentre os 41 que criam búfalos na região, foram amostrados. Destes rebanhos, 212 animais selecionados ao acaso foram submetidos à tuberculinização cervical comparativa. A frequência de rebanhos infectados na região do Baixo Araguari foi de 50,0% (CI 95%: 31,3% to 68,7%) e a frequência de animais infectados foi estimada em 14,8% (95% CI: 7,8% to 21,9%). Nossos resultados mostram que a tuberculose está amplamente distribuída em búfalos da região do Baixo Araguari, Amapá e que medidas de controle da doença devem ser implementadas na região.UEL2016-04-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/2045810.5433/1679-0359.2016v37n2p885Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 37 No. 2 (2016); 885-890Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 37 n. 2 (2016); 885-8901679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
