ABSTRACT
The objective of this report is to provide information on Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infections in animals and in humans. Included is information on the susceptibility of different species as well as information on etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and control of this disease. The term One Health has been adopted to describe the unified human medical and veterinary interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary collaborative approach to zoonoses and will be critical for future endeavors in the control of the global TB epidemic. This unified paradigm is ideally suited for control of bovine TB and many other international public health and clinical health issues. Sharing resources and increasing interaction between public health and veterinary medical scientists can raise awareness of ‘shared risk' of bovine TB between humans and animals and, in resource-limited situations, can maximize use of existing infrastructure and reduce unnecessary duplication of effort in disease control programs.
RESUMEN
El objetivo de este artículo es proporcionar información sobre las infecciones por el Complejo Mycobacterium tuberculosis en animales y en humanos. Se incluye información sobre la susceptibilidad de diferentes especies, así como sobre la etiología, epidemiología, patogenia, diagnóstico, prevención y control de esta enfermedad. La expresión UNA SALUD ha sido adoptada para describir el enfoque unificado de la medicina humana y la veterinaria, de colaboración interdisciplinaria/multidisciplinaria en las zoonosis, que puede resultar fundamental para el control de la endemia mundial de tuberculosis. Este paradigma unificado es especialmente relevante para el control de la tuberculosis bovina. Compartir recursos y lograr una mayor interacción entre la investigación en salud pública y en medicina veterinaria puede elevar la conciencia de “riesgo compartido” de la tuberculosis bovina en humanos y animales y, en situaciones de recursos limitados, puede maximizar el uso de la infraestructura existente y reducir la duplicación innecesaria de esfuerzos en los programas de control de la infección y enfermedad.
