As an extension of a first project carried out from 2020 to 2023, the Innotub 2 project aims to develop tools to prevent transmission of the bacteria to farms Mycobacterium bovis, responsible for bovine tuberculosis. This bacteria continues to circulate among wild boars and badgers in the Pyrenees and cases sometimes occur in cattle.
ANSES is particularly involved in the characterization of strains circulating in the region. This involves carrying out genetic analyzes to determine the origins of outbreaks and the dynamics of transmission, in order to clarify the role played by each species in the circulation of the bacteria.
The Innotub-2 project is coordinated by the Basque Institute for Agricultural Research and Development (NEIKER) and brings together French and Spanish partners. It is financed by the Territorial Cooperation Program VI-A Spain-France-Andorra (POCTEFA), set up by the European Union.
