What is Zoonotic Tuberculosis about?

Zoonotic tuberculosis has long been a neglected zoonosis that is predominantly caused by Mycobacterium bovis . The organism belongs to a group of mycobacteria, together with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and others that derive from a common ancestor, forming Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) [2].Mycobacterium bovis is capable of infecting a broad range of hosts, including ruminants (predominantly domestic cattle, where it is referred to as bovine tuberculosis), humans and other primates . The wide host range makes bovine tuberculosis difficult to eliminate, especially where wildlife reservoirs are involved, e.g. badgers (Meles meles) in the United Kingdom [2].
