Bovine tuberculosis: Historical perspective

Investigation article published in Research in Veterinary Science

October 1st, 2014

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonotic disease which has implications for both public health and economic impacts due to decreased production, increased condemnation and mortality rates and cost of control programmes. TB transmission between cattle and humans has significantly decreased in countries where specific control programmes have been implemented. The knowledge about this disease has improved substantially in recent years and this fact has allowed the enhancement of TB diagnostic tools and control measures. Nevertheless, concerns remain regarding the epidemiology and immunology of the disease, with repercussions on its control and eradication process. The present special issue on bovine TB was conceived as a follow-up to the European project “Strategies for the eradication of bovine tuberculosis” (TB-STEP Grant agreement no.: 212414) which aimed at shedding light on the multifaceted nature of bovine TB through a multidisciplinary research approach in order to develop sound and rational strategies for its eradication. The different reviews included in this special issue are focused on the objectives of the TB-STEP project that were related to the transmission and epidemiology, risk assessment, vaccination, diagnosis and control and vaccination of TB in wildlife
