Abstract

This report illustrates that calves may be infected with bovine tuberculosis at early age under natural conditions and progression can be rapid. Thus, testing of calves needs to be considered in any control program to reduce the risk of transmission.

This is a publication arising from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
