Article Synopsis
  • Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria that can infect both animals and humans, primarily affecting cattle and present globally except in Antarctica.
  • The article reviews aspects such as causes, symptoms, diagnosis (primarily via the tuberculin test), transmission, and its significant economic impact on the livestock industry.
  • Effective treatment includes first-line drugs like isoniazid and rifampin, while developed countries use regular testing and culling of infected animals to control the spread of the disease.
