Scientists Create Transgenic Disease-Resistant Cows
The animals have an improved ability to resist tuberculosis, which can often be fatal for cattle.
For the first time, researchers have genetically modified cows to be resistant to the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis. This disease is well-controlled in most developed countries, but it can often be fatal for cattle in developing countries and spread to people and other animals.
