“…However, the test-and segregation program, a modified form of the test-and-slaughter policy, may be more useful for developing countries, where the test-and-slaughter policy cannot be practicable for the whole cattle population, thus, interim measures to segregate infected herds and phased slaughter of reactors are done (Dibaba and Kriek, 2019).

Bovine tuberculosis is one of the chronic bacterial diseases of animals that can acquire a variable amount of time (from a few weeks to a lifetime) to expand from infection to clinical disease and to happen to infectious to other animals. Mycobaterium bovis has a remarkably wide range of mammalian hosts and affect all age groups of susceptible hosts of domestic, wild animals and human. Numerous studies undertaken in diverse parts of the country have deep-rooted the widespread nature of the disease in Ethiopian cattle populations. More to the point being a potential zoonotic danger through consumption of raw animal foodstuffs and close animal-human contact, the disease can have chief economic impacts on national livestock sector. Regardless of the isolation of M. bovis from domestic animal and human, no infection due to M. bovis was reported in Ethiopian wildlife populations so far and the burden of the disease in wildlife populations is yet unfamiliar. Therefore, objectives of this review paper is to elaborate the epidemiological interface of M. bovis in wildlife, livestock and human in Ethiopia, to identify risk factors considered in studies conducted so far in Ethiopia. Diseases transmitted between humans, livestock, and wildlife are progressively more challenging public and veterinary health systems. Therefore, studies concerning the burden of the diseases in wildlife, livestock and human beings in Ethiopia should be undertaken.

Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is endemic in Ethiopian cattle. BTB is caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) and has economic and public health significance. which has significant impact on the health of livestock and human. It has been significantly a cause for great economic loss in animal production. Associated risk factors contributed to the prevalence of the disease in cattle and its transmission. Moreover, the majority of cattle owners lack awareness about the disease and its public health significance. The presence of multiple hosts including wild animals, inefficient diagnostic techniques, absence of defined national controls and eradication programs could impede the control of bovine TB. Awareness rising about the disease, its transmission andzoonotic implication however, in Ethiopia Bovine Tuberculosis in Human-Livestock-Wildlife Interface is not well studied in the country and there were no studies concerning the burden of the disease between human ,animal and wild life which is of great importance for reduction and control measures. This paper aims to review the potential health and economic impact of bovine tuberculosis control in order to safeguard human and animal population in Ethiopia

“…Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic bacterial disease in animals caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex primarily by M. bovis, followed by M. caprae and M. tuberculosis. It is a major infectious disease among cattle, and it also affects other domesticated animals and certain wildlife populations, causing a general state of illness, pneumonia, weight loss, and eventually death (Dibaba, 2019). Cattle are considered to be the major reservoir for M. bovis and the main infection source for humans.…”

Bovine tuberculosis is an important global zoonosis. The causative agent of the disease is Mycobacterium bovis, belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. This study aimed to identify vertical transmission of Mycobacterium bovis in tuberculin positive pregnant dairy cows referred to the slaughterhouse and commercial sperm used to inseminate them in Gonbad, Gorgan province, Iran, by PCR assay. From March to September 2016, one thousand and seven hundred artificially inseminated cows were subjected to the tuberculin test; then, tuberculin positive cows were referred to the Gonbad slaughterhouse. Samples containing milk, lymph node, placenta, foetal abomasal fluid, and amniotic fluid were prepared from all affected cows and stored at -80 °C until analysis. Bacterial DNA was extracted from all specimens by a commercial kit. Detection was performed by amplifying pncATB gene using special primers via the polymerase chain reaction method. Results of tuberculin test revealed 144 positive cases (8.47%). PCR results for 48 milk samples, 120 biopsy samples, 63 samples of foetuses showed 9, 93 and 43 positive cases, respectively which all belonged to tuberculin positive samples. No positive sperm samples were identified. It was concluded that the infection rate with M. bovis in Montbéliarde cattle was high and also, that vertical transmission was not seen.
