“…African buffaloes ( Syncerus caffer ) are important wildlife maintenance hosts of M. bovis and serve as a source of infection for other susceptible mammals sharing the same habitat 2 . This highlights the potential disease risk and importance of its control 1 , 2 . Diagnosis of M. bovis infection in African buffaloes typically relies on the measurement of cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses to M. bovis antigens 3 .…”

“…Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is an important zoonosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis ( M. bovis ) and is responsible for severe economic losses and disruption of conservation programs when livestock and wildlife are affected 1 , 2 . African buffaloes ( Syncerus caffer ) are important wildlife maintenance hosts of M. bovis and serve as a source of infection for other susceptible mammals sharing the same habitat 2 .…”

“…The eradication of M. bovis from domestic herds can be achieved through whole herd depopulation (stamping-out). However, the emergence of financial and animal welfare constraints, as well as the emotional impact made by the farmers and opinion of public community made this strategy be indicated only on rare occasions and under specific circumstances [87].…”

“…The first confirmed case in an African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in this country occurred within the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in 1986. Afterwards, several cases have been reported in National Parks, game Reserves or private farms, in which buffalos have been implicated in cattle infection [170,171]. Several proposals have been put forward to prevent TB from spreading, including fencing, intensive culling and vaccination.…”

“…Different factors such as age of animals, route of vaccination or challenge dose, among others, were considered. Despite those results, vaccination is considered as a promising strategy and an integral part of TB control in South Africa pending future experiments [ 171 ].…”
