“…Breathing is the opportunity to contaminate non-immunized persons. Another form of tuberculosis from M. bovis can be transferred by using unpasteurized milk products [7]. The general symptoms of tuberculosis disease include feelings weakness, swollen lymph glands, night sweats, weight loss, fever, and lack of appetite.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the major public health concerns in many countries, however the available and effective treatment is known. Tuberculosis typically determined with socio-economic problems such as war, malnutrition and HIV prevalence. In Iran, many progresses are carried to control tuberculosis but, different factors such as immigration from neighboring countries are affective to tuberculosis infection. Objectives: In this paper, the incidence and prevalence of tuberculosis is evaluated in different regions of Iran and neighboring countries. Methods: The data are collected from different and valid sources such as Scopus, Pubmed and also many reports from world health organization (WHO) and center of disease control and prevention (CDC) for a period of 25 years (1990 -2015) evaluated for Iran and neighboring countries. Results: This study as a descriptive-analytical research is conducted cross-sectional among Iran and neighboring countries since 1990. The information is obtained from exact and valid informative data from web of sciences. The east and west border countries of Iran which are faced with war and immigration in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq are source of tuberculosis infection that effect on tuberculosis prevalence in Iran. The data were analyzed by SPSS 22 and Excel 2013. Conclusions:The incidence of tuberculosis in Iran has been decreased because of many controlling actions such as BCG vaccination, electronic reporting system for tuberculosis and free access to tuberculosis medication. Some of Iran neighboring countries such as Tajikistan and Pakistan have the highest incidence of tuberculosis which known as a challenge for tuberculosis control in Iran while Saudi Arabia and Turkey have the lowest incidence.

Human bovine tuberculosis is a rare zoonotic infection in developed countries which has been achieved predominantly by effective eradication programmes in cattle. The principal modes of transmission are consumption of unpasteurised dairy products and close contact with infected cattle. The clinical and radiological presentation is indistinguishable from tuberculosis caused by The diagnosis should be considered in individuals with relevant risk factors who present with intra/extrathoracic pathology. We describe and discuss a case of bovine tuberculosis with a synchronous primary bronchus carcinoma in an immunocompetent individual who presented with a solitary pulmonary nodule and contralateral mediastinal lymphadenopathy on CT imaging. The diagnosis ofwas aided by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT imaging and endobronchial ultrasound-guided mediastinal lymph node sampling.

“…No ano de 2017 foram registrados 4.488 casos de tuberculose bovina em todo território nacional, destes casos, 24 ocorreram no Espírito Santo (BRASIL, 2019). De acordo com estudos realizados por Davidson et al (2017) no Reino Unido e Bapat et al (2017) na Índia, a forma mais comum de exposição ao agente infeccioso para os humanos é o consumo de leite não pasteurizado. A principal fonte de infecção dos bovinos são outros bovinos acometidos pela tuberculose.…”

RESUMOO objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar a prevalência e os possíveis fatores de risco da Tuberculose Bovina no município de Ibitirama, sul do Espírito Santo. O estudo foi realizado em 48 propriedades do município, abrangendo um total de 901 bovinos. Os animais de cada propriedade foram testados para a Tuberculose Bovina (TB) utilizando-se primeiramente o teste cervical simples. Bovinos classificados como reagentes no primeiro teste foram submetidos ao teste cervical comparativo após 69 dias, quando solicitado a repetição pelo proprietário. Os testes foram realizados por um médico veterinário habilitado e todos os animais considerados positivos foram sacrificados. A prevalência de animais positivos para tuberculose bovina no município de Ibitirama foi de 4,44% [3,23 -5,65], e a prevalência de focos de tuberculose foi de 39,58% [22,01 -57,15]. O principal fator de risco para a TB encontrado neste estudo foi a aquisição de novos animais e, principalmente, quando estes não são testados para a doença antes de serem introduzidos na propriedade. O controle e erradicação da tuberculose bovina necessita de assistência veterinária de caráter preventivo, de forma que sejam feitos testes regularmente para identificar a doença na propriedade e sempre que houver a aquisição de novos animais. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Fator de risco. Mycobacterium bovis. Prevalência.
