Tuberculosis in elephants: Origins and evidence of interspecies transmission.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland) - 1 Jul 2020

Paudel Sarad, Sreevatsan Srinand

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis (TB) is a devastating disease in elephants caused by either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. bovis. It is an ancient disease, and TB in elephants was first reported over two millennia ago in Sri Lanka. Outbreaks of TB worldwide, in captive and free-ranging elephant populations, have been recorded. Interspecies transmission of TB among elephants and humans has been confirmed in several geographic...
