dc.description.abstractBovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic bacterial disease of animals and humans caused by Mycobacterium bovis. In many countries it is a major infectious disease of cattle, other domesticated animals, and certain wildlife populations. The vaccine for human TB, the bacilli Calmette–Guerin (BCG), a live attenuated M. bovis strain has been used in cattle and remains the best candidate vaccine in the short to medium term. Field trials for an integrated control of bTB with BCG vaccine should be recommended where conditions are appropriate. The paper presents detailed information on the incidence, prevalence and etiology of this disease, as well as current vaccination strategies.en
