Tuberculose bovine : une maladie globalisée à l'interface homme-animal

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is recognized as the main etiologic agent of human tuberculosis (TB) in the world. However, a large body of evidence suggests that the involvement of Mycobacterium bovis (MB), the agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB), may be underestimated among zoonotic TB cases, particularly in human populations living with human-animal interface. In addition, MB is a pathogen that frequently infects livestock and a large number of wildlife species around the world. This review aims to describe the dynamic of transmission of MB and the impact of bTB on human and animal health in a context of industrialized countries (IC) and developing countries (DC).
