Abstract:

A collaborative team effort is needed to counter the increasing danger of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in wildlife evident in the continuous spread of the disease to wildlife on unrelated properties in different parts of South Africa. That was the core message at a Bovine Tuberculosis Outreach Day recently hosted by the Faculty of Veterinary Science and spearheaded by Prof Anita Michel of the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases.
