Book Chapter Description

This chapter provides a quick summary of the data accessible in the literature from the early 20th century onwards to evaluate the current state of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in India. The epidemiology, transmission and diagnosis of bTB are examined in depth. In addition, the chapter discusses prevention and control techniques, emphasizes the relationship between human and animal health, and suggests immunizing cattle to stop the spread of infection to humans and other animals. The literature on investigations of risk factors at the herd level is reviewed here. India will be better able to combat tuberculosis (TB) if it adopts the One Health concept, which acknowledges the connection of human and animal health.
