“…The disease has been a cause of severe economic loss in animal production. It is caused by Mycobacterium bovis, M. tuberculosis, or rarely M. caprae (Torgerson et al 2010;Bayraktar et al 2011). Mycobacterium is acid-fast soil saprophytes characterized by the presence of mycolic acid in their cell wall.…”

Global health security, economic stability, and biodiversity conservation are seriously threatened by transboundary zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible diseases that can transfer from animals to humans over international borders. Transboundary zoonoses have become more prevalent in recent years as a result of the intricate interactions between urbanization, the destruction of animal habitats, intensive agriculture, international commerce, and climate change. These diseases have the potential for fast worldwide spread and devastating effects, as shown by well-known examples like avian influenza, Ebola, and COVID-19. An interdisciplinary approach that integrates epidemiology, ecology, veterinary medicine, public health, and socio-political sciences is required to comprehend the dynamics of transboundary zoonoses. In order to prevent and contain epidemics, it is crucial to build early detection and surveillance systems as well as efficient response systems. Additionally, risk communication and community involvement are essential for promoting collaboration between authorities, medical specialists, academics, and the general public. A key area for the spread of zoonotic diseases is the intersection of wild and domestic animals with humans. The management of transboundary zoonoses is intimately related to efforts to conserve biodiversity, highlighting the need of preserving intact ecosystems and reducing human activities that result in habitat degradation and animal trafficking. Given that transboundary zoonoses have the capacity to cross borders and damage many countries at once, international cooperation is essential in combating them. In order to do this, it is necessary to coordinate response activities, share data, resources, and knowledge, as well as facilitate technology transfer and capacity development in underdeveloped areas. This chapter examines the idea of transboundary zoonosis, highlighting its effects on the environment, global collaboration, and the health of people and animals. This chapter attempts to offer insights into managing the complex danger of transboundary zoonoses by looking at case studies and talking about prevention and control techniques.

“…Bovine tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium (M.) bovis, M. tuberculosis, or rarely by M. caprae, is an important and significant disease of public health concern due to its zoonotic potential and resultant considerable economic losses (Torgerson and Torgerson 2010, Bayraktar et al 2011a, 2011b. In humans, majority of the TB cases happened either due to utilization of the contaminated milk or through aerosols from the infected animals (Moda et al 1996).…”

Zoonoses - Infections Affecting Humans and Animals

Tuberculosis is a serious chronic disease of humans and animals caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. While M. tuberculosis affects primarily humans, Mycobacterium bovis has a wide range of host species including wild and domestic animals and humans. This chapter investigates the role of different host species in the transmission of tuberculosis at various animal/human interfaces. While drivers and modes of zoonotic TB transmission are reviewed, a broad spectrum of complexities hampering the eradication of this disease are highlighted. The most important constraints, next to factors related to pathogen-host interactions such as HIV co-infection and multidrug resistance of MTBC strains, are socio-economic shortcomings in the control of bovine tuberculosis in the cattle population as well as traditional customs and habits related to the consumption of milk and other animal products.
