A REVIEW ON BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS: ZOONOTIC IMPORTANCE
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Mycobacterium bovis is a zoonotic organism that is present in animals in most developing countries where surveillance and control activities are often inadequate or unavailable and pasteurization is rarely practiced. It can also infect and cause disease in many other mammals including humans, deer, goats, pigs, cats, dogs and badgers. The disease causes military tubercles in lungs, chronic cough and enlargement of lymphnode. The standard method for detection of TB is the tuberculin test and slaughter. Disease eradication programs consisting of post mortem meat inspection, intensive surveillance including on-farm visits, systematic individual testing of cattle and removal of infected and in-contact animals as well as movement controls have been very successful in reducing or eliminating the disease.
