ABSTRACT

Tuberculosis is one of the most common highly infectious bacterial zoonotic disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Mycobacterium bovis, a member of the M. tuberculosis complex, has socio-economic importance or public health implications, and may have a sizable effect on the commerce of animals and animal products internationally. It is also the cause of zoonotic tuberculosis. TB occurs in every part of the world. It is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide than the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent (Ranked over HIV/AIDS). The World Health Organization (WHO) has implemented a new strategy for TB prevention, treatment and control since 2015- The End TB Strategy aims at ending the global TB epidemic by reducing the incidence and death frequency of the disease by 90% and 95% respectively in 20 years (2015-2035) compared to 2015 through advanced diagnosis, prevention and control strategies.
