Tuberculosis is an extremely important zoonotic disease in Nigeria but yet the only method of diagnosis is acid-fast test which does not differentiate pathogenic mycobacteria from other mycobacterial species and even other acid-fast organisms. I am currently working on tuberculosis in cattle and cattle owners with emphasis on the disease in nomadic pastoralist but my greatest challenge is where to culture my samples because I am interested in species identification. I contacted a private lab but I was not successful, please I need help in this aspect because my work is hanging.

 

Thank you
