Logistic regression analysis of tuberculous lesions with various host-related risk factors.

<p>CI = Confidence Interval; BCS = Body Condition Scoring; odds ratio corresponding to different categories of a given variable are adjusted for the remaining three variables.</p

Distribution and tropism of tuberculous lesions in the lymph nodes and lung lobes in 91 postmortem positive camels with lesions in at least one tissue or organ.

<p>*Statistically significant.</p>‡<p>Chi-square was calculated from the median of pathology score of among tissues examined.</p

Gel electrophoresis separation of PCR products by RD4 deletion typing of mycobacteria isolated from naturally infected camels.

<p>Lane 1 = 100bp DNA ladder, Lane 2 = <i>M. tuberculosis</i> positive control, Lane 3 = Qiagen H₂O (negative control), Lane 4 = <i>M. bovis</i> positive control, Lane 5–7 were isolates from camel, Lane 6 and 7 were positive for <i>M. bovis</i>.</p

Schematic representation of the spoligotyping patterns of isolates of <i>Mycobacterium bovis</i> from camels with tuberculous lesions.

<p>A = <i>M.bovis</i> SB1176 (positive control); B = Qiagen H₂O (negative control); C = <i>M. tuberculosis</i> (positive control); D = sample 63 (SB1953-New strain); E = sample 62 (SB0133). The black rectangles represent positive signals, and the white rectangles indicate negative signals.</p

Mean pathology and standard error of the mean scoring of the lungs and lymph nodes of camels.

<p>SEM = Standard Error of the Mean.</p

Tuberculous lesions from camels on different organs.

<p>(A1) Disseminated and distinct tuberculous lesions in mediastinal parts of the lung. (A2) Tuberculous lesion in mediastinal lymph node and nodules on other parts as indicated by arrows. (A3) Tuberculous lesions in hepatic lymph node. The arrows show that pea-sized lesions throughout the lymph node. (B) Tuberculous lesion in mesenteric lymph nodes as indicated by arrow.</p
