Systems, methods, and compositions for a diagnostic method for detecting TB in non-human primates that is easy to use, sensitive, and specific. The method utilizes recombinant mycobacterial antigens, such as polyfusion proteins. The method utilizes an antigen-antibody-antigen arrangement to detect TB infection in nonhuman primates. The method can detect IgM antibodies to TB, in addition to IgG antibodies, providing ability to detect TB earlier in nonhuman primate TB infection as compared to conventional TB tests.
