“…Dual infection by M bovis and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis has been reported in goats (Bernabé and others 1991). TB lesions tended to affect mainly the lung and thoracic lymph nodes, while internal lymph nodes and viscera were affected to a lesser extent, similar to other reports of caprine TB (Bernabé and others 1991, Crawshaw and others 2008). In comparison, CLA mainly affected the lymph nodes of the head and neck, similar to other observations in caprine CLA (Batey and others 1986, Schreuder and others 1986, Brown and Olander 1987).…”

“…Other similarities between the two diseases include gross postmortem findings, such as abscessation (Crawshaw and others 2008, Baird and Fontaine 2007) and lesion distribution. Both diseases may affect the lung, thoracic lymph nodes and viscera (Sanson 1988, Crawshaw and others 2008). These similarities may make it difficult to distinguish between the two diseases.…”

“…bovis infection is recognized worldwide as the major agent responsible for TB in cattle. However, it affects a wide range of hosts including domestic and wild animals and humans (Ayele et al 2004;Crawshaw et al 2008). Goats are relatively more susceptible and if they are kept with infected herd of cattle the incidence may reach 70% (Radostits et al 2000).…”

Tuberculosis (TB) is an important zoonosis affecting a wide range of hosts. An abattoir study was conducted on 1,536 randomly selected male goats slaughtered at Modjo Modern Export Abattoir to determine the prevalence of tuberculosis in slaughtered goats. Carcasses and organs of all the study animals were first examined by routine meat inspection followed by detailed meat inspection. Samples from tuberculous lesions were cultured for mycobacterial isolation and identification. Histopathology was done on 31 samples with tuberculous lesions. Detailed meat inspection detected 65 (4.2%; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.3-5.4%) tuberculous lesions. From these, 20 (30.8%) samples were confirmed mycobacterium positive on culture, out of which 18 were Mycobacterium bovis and two were Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Routine meat inspection failed to detect tuberculous lesions in 23% of carcasses with TB lesions detected by detailed examination. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between both methods in detecting tuberculous lesions (Kappa = 0.87). Origin and age of the goats did not statistically affect the disease prevalence (P > 0.05). Histopathologic lesions were observed in 21 samples (68%; 95% CI = 50.1-81.4%) out of the 31 carcasses with gross tuberculous lesions examined by histopathology. Eighteen (58%) tuberculous samples positive for histopathology were also culture positive. The sensitivity and specificity of histopathology were 90% (95% CI = 76.9-100%) and 72.7% (95% CI = 46.4-99%), respectively, using culture as a reference test. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of caprine tuberculosis from Ethiopia. Further studies are required at the farm level to determine the prevalence of tuberculosis in the general goat population.

“…Tuberculosis (TB) in goats has not been extensively investigated in comparison with cattle in Nigeria. Tuberculosis in goat and sheep is caused by members of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex predominantly Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium caprae (Crawshaw et al, 2008) and in some cases by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Cadmus et al, 2009). In goats, the disease normally spread through head to head contact, which will include sharing of contaminated haystacks and water bowls as well as infected aerosols spread from breath.…”

Slaughter houses provide excellent avenues for detecting diseases of both economic and public health importance in livestock. A study of 12,429 slaughtered goats at the Bauchi central abattoir was carried out (from February to May, 2015) in order to determine the prevalence of tuberculosis-like lesions in slaughtered goats. The lesions were counted, visually examined and palpated during post mortem meat inspection. Of the 12,429 goats slaughtered and examined, tuberculosis-like lesions were observed in four (4) slaughtered goats with a prevalence of 0.03%. It was concluded that although the prevalence was relatively low, the financial losses and public health implications of the finding should not be over looked.
