Tuberculosis in cattle: new perspectives.

Today, the risk to human health is at a low level in most developed countries. This has shifted the emphasis to the trading implications of the disease in cattle and has led to a deterioration in the appreciation of risk by all except those who are directly affected by the occurrence of tuberculosis in their herd. The success of earlier national bovine tuberculosis eradication programmes was achieved at a time when herds were smaller, the intensity and demands of production lower, and before the emergence of a significant wildlife reservoir of Mycobacterium bovis.
