Overview

Bovine Tuberculosis is an infectious disease affecting mainly cows and other domesticated animals, caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium bovis. It is spread by inhalation of infected aerosols and through direct contact with contaminated secretions of infected animals. This disease causes significant economic losses to the dairy and beef industry as infected animals can present with decreased production and death. Diagnosis is based on laboratory tests to detect the bacteria in tissue and secretions, which is then confirmed by a culture test. Treatment involves antibiotic administration under the guidance of a veterinarian. It is important to ensure control and monitoring of infected animals to minimize spread of the disease.
