Description
Summary:The disease has important implications for animal health and welfare, as well as on productivity through reduced meat and milk production and condemnation of carcasses or affected parts that are classified as unfit for human consumption during meat inspection. The most common route of transmission of M bovis to people is through the consumption of contaminated dairy products that have not been heat-treated, or raw or improperly cooked meat from diseased animals. [...]strategies to prevent zoonotic tuberculosis in people are different to those targeting tuberculosis caused by M tuberculosis. In January, 2017, leading international human health and animal health organisations called on all stakeholders to improve the diagnosis and treatment of zoonotic tuberculosis, control the disease at its animal source, and prevent transmission to people.2 The launch of the multi-sectoral roadmap for zoonotic tuberculosis in October, 2017, marks an important milestone in the fight to end the global tuberculosis epidemic.3 This roadmap calls for concerted action through broad engagement across political, financial, and technical levels, including government agencies, donors, academia, non-governmental organisations, and private stakeholders.
