ABSTRACT
We aimed to assess the proportion of tuberculosis in humans and tuberculosis (TB)-associated abattoir condemnations from the animal sector, as well as determine risk factors of zoonotic tuberculosis at the animal-human interface in Zambia. The study involved 255 presumptive TB patients and 156 cattle carcasses and was conducted from April 2020 to December 2021. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were performed for risk factor analysis for zoonotic TB. The overall proportion of bovine tuberculosis in traditional cattle and the proportion of tuberculosis among presumptive TB patients were 39.7% and 10.2%, respectively. Consumption of raw milk (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.73-4.28) and history of previous contact with a TB patient (AOR=1.86, 95% CI 1.17-2.95) were risk factors for zoonotic TB at the animal-human interface of Zambia. Therefore, community campaigns and sensitization on zoonotic TB transmission are recommended.
