  1. The estimated prevalence (stated) as proportion of infection of M. bovis was 2.37 % (16/675) by microscopy and 2.81 % (19/675) using the liquid media culture. The gold standard test is liquid media culture. There is disparity among regions, the highest prevalence (culture) was in Mopti (3.57 %) and Bamako (3,63 %) and the lowest was in Segou (1.25 %)
