Occupational exposure to human Mycobacterium bovis infection: A systematic review

BackgroundMycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the main causative agent of bovine zoonotic tuberculosis. The aim of this systematic review is to highlight the occupational exposure to bovine tuberculosis due to M. bovis.Methodology/principal findingsA computer based literature search was carried out to identify papers published between January 2006 and March 2017. “PubMed, Cochrane Library and Science Direct” databases were searched systematically. Articles presenting the following properties were included: (i) focusing on M. bovis; (ii) concerning occupational exposure to bovine tuberculosis. A quality assessment was performed after selection of studies. Our search strategy identified a total of 3,264 papers of which 29 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of the 29 articles, 17 were cross-sectional studies (6 were of high quality and scored in the range of 6–7, 11 were of moderate quality and scored in the range 3–5), 10 were case reports, and 2 were reviews. Different occupational fields exposing to the disease were described: livestock sector, particularly in contact with dairy cattle (farmers, veterinaries and assistants, abattoir workers) and working in contact with wildlife (hunters, taxidermists).ConclusionsA specific guideline for occupational practitioners taking care of employees exposed to bovine tuberculosis is warranted and should be tailored to level of exposure. This review was intended to be the first step of such a project. Articles were identified from various continents and countries with different socio-economic situations, broadening our understanding of the worldwide situation. Published data on occupational exposure in developed countries are scarce. We had to extrapolate findings from countries with higher prevalence of the disease.

“…The trends in the prevalence of BTB also changed over time. In Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Morocco and Sudan, the prevalence of infection among cattle varied between 0.2% [ 42 ] and 4.3% [ 43 ], 8.5% [ 44 ] and 26.3% [ 45 ], 1.3% [ 46 ] and 10.2% [ 47 ], 1.7% [ 48 ] and 51.3% [ 49 ] and 0.2% [ 50 ] and 20.8% [ 51 ] over the last two decades, respectively.…”

Mycobacterium bovis is the etiologic agent of bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a serious infectious disease in both humans and animals. BTB is a zoonotic disease primarily affecting cattle and occasionally humans infected through close contact with infected hosts or the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. Zoonotic tuberculosis is strongly associated with poverty and poor hygiene, and low- and middle-income countries bear the brunt of the disease. BTB has been increasingly recognized as a growing public health threat in developing countries. However, the lack of effective surveillance programs in many of these countries poses a barrier to accurately determining the true burden of this disease. Additionally, the control of BTB is threatened by the emergence of drug-resistant strains that affect the effectiveness of current treatment regimens. Here, we analyzed current trends in the epidemiology of the disease as well as the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of M. bovis in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, a region that includes several developing countries. Following PRISMA guidelines, a total of 90 studies conducted in the MENA region were selected. Our findings revealed that the prevalence of BTB among humans and cattle varied significantly according to the population size and country in the MENA region. Most of the available studies were based on culture and/or PCR strategies and were published without including data on antimicrobial resistance and molecular typing. Our findings highlighted the paramount need for the use of appropriate diagnostic tools and the implementation of sustainable control measures, especially at the human/animal interface, in the MENA region.

“…There is evidence that 10% of livestock traders were infected with TB in Nigeria (Hambolu et al., 2013 ). Likewise, about 2% of slaughterhouse workers were reported to be infected with TB in Iraq (Al‐Thwani & Al‐Mashhadani, 2016 ).…”

Tuberculosis in slaughtered cattle and workers in some abattoirs of Baghdad governorate

Abstract: The main conclusion of this study is that two workers were infected with cattle's strain which confirms the role of slaughtered cattle in the transmission of this dangerous, chronic, and zoonotic disease to man.
