Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and impacts on both human and animal populations. Animal-adapted MTBC threatens the well-being of humans, animals and their livelihoods. The WHO annual TB Report estimated there were 143,000 new human cases of zoonotic tuberculosis (zTB) with 12,300 deaths caused by Mycobacterium bovis globally (1). Prevalence estimates of zTB are inaccurate since routine laboratory tests cannot differentiate between infections caused by the human and animal-adapted species of the MTBC, including newer members such as Mycobacterium orygis (2). Thus, the true effect of zTB on the human TB epidemic remains unclear. Accurate disease differentiation is also important since M. bovis is universally resistant to pyrazinamide, a key first line TB drug. zTB is acquired through consuming unpasteurized milk products, or unusually from direct contact with infected livestock or offal (3). A true wildlife source of zTB remains unknown (4). MTBC strains are able to transmit between domestic cattle and other reservoir species, specifically maintaining M. bovis. Bovine TB is usually associated with intensively managed farmed livestock, captive and semi-captive or fenced wild animals, or those adapted to human domesticated agricultural landscapes (5). Whilst efforts to eradicate bovine TB from livestock are ongoing, other reservoirs remain a threat to control programs. These include European badgers, brushtail possums, ferrets, feral pigs, buffalo, wild boars, elks and white-tailed deer (6). Bovine TB inflicts economic losses through lost production and control costs, creating barriers to livestock trade, and impedes conservation efforts. The M. bovis debate in Africa is currently influenced by regional importance in countries such as South Africa and Ethiopia where intensification of cattle industry is more advanced. Imported cattle like Holstein Friesian bring European strains of M. bovis into their national herds. This argues against intensification. Intensifying without biosecurity and neglecting the highly resilient pastoral sector remain shortsighted approaches to livestock systems, and retards bovine TB control programs.Contacts rates and population densities are the major drivers for evolution of the animal-adapted MTBC. M. bovis infection and wildlife TB are rarely expressed in natural ecosystems and experience of low disease prevalence in indigenous cattle in mixed systems suggests this is not necessarily a problem, although risks are reported (7). For example, in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, M. bovis has been detected by serology in around 20% of African buffalo for over 60 years, with occasional open cases, it is without any apparent ecological significance. Conversely, the surrounding Ankole cattle, which share pasture, have cryptic M. bovis infection (~ 2% prevalence) with no perceived issues in the stock or regarding zTB (8). This African ‘resilience’is fast changing consequential to increasing pressure being put on land use and increasing demand for milk and meat. Cases of zTB are uncommon in countries where bovine TB in cattle is controlled. The focus should be on better detection and reporting of cases and improving standards of food safety and hygiene.
