Article Synopsis
- Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a major infectious disease affecting cattle and poses risks to socioeconomic stability, animal health, and public health, yet its prevalence in Malawi is poorly understood.
- A survey conducted in three regional abattoirs revealed that nearly 10% of 1547 cattle had lesions indicative of bTB, with positive confirmation from various testing methods, highlighting regions and certain animal characteristics as higher risk factors.
- The findings underline the urgent need for improved surveillance and control strategies to combat bTB, emphasizing a collaborative approach that addresses both animal and human health concerns.
