Control of Mycobacterium bovis infections and the risk to human populations.
Conventional control methods based on test-and-slaughter policies have, in several countries, led to the successful eradication of bovine tuberculosis in cattle. However, new approaches for control of bovine tuberculosis are required in developing countries and those with a wildlife reservoir of infection. Recent developments include improved diagnostics and evaluation of new vaccination strategies.
