Abstract
⺠MLVA was effectively used for the first time in differentiating M. bovis isolates. ⺠Results were compared to those obtained with RAPD and PFGE for the same isolates. ⺠Wallace coefficients of â¥Â 0.5 were only attained at the most relaxed cutoff level. ⺠Simpson's index of diversity was 0.91 for MLVA, 0.99 for RAPD analysis and PFGE. ⺠MLVA is a fast, reliable, and cost-effective typing method for M. bovis epidemiology.
