| Abstract/Description: | Anthrax is a bacterial zoonoses caused by Bacillus anthracis that primarily affects herbivores, especially cattle. Human incidence is preceded by outbreaks in animals where infection is acquired through contact or ingestion of contaminated meat, or animal products. Present study deals with TaqMan real time PCR detection of B. anthracis in uncooked beef sample collected from an anthrax‒endemic village in Boipariguda block of Koraput district, Odisha, India following reports of cutaneous anthrax in humans. Meat samples of a 7 years old bullock with signs of pyrexia and bloat was traced from the area where the carcass was de-skinned and disbursed. Molecular test revealed presence of capsule (Cap) and protective antigen (PA) of B. anthracis. Characteristic sigmoid curves were observed for both the genes. Cap gene-TaqMan PCR of the test sample had a Ct value of 23.53 whereas positive control had a value of 17.81. Ct values were 17.22 and 24.03 for the positive control and the test sample, respectively. Positive results obtained for both the genes indicated the presence of a virulent strain in the area under study. Source of human anthrax with its mode of transmission demands strengthening of vaccination to livestock and awareness program in the area. |
