Exposure to bovine livestock and latent tuberculosis infection in children: investigating the zoonotic tuberculosis potential in a large urban and peri-urban area of Cameroon

2024-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), a neglected zoonotic disease, is endemic in cattle in many Sub-saharan African countries, yet its contribution to tuberculosis (TB) burden is understudied. Rapid urbanisation and increase in demand for animal proteins, including dairy products, increases the risk of spill over. This study compared the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) risk in children, a proxy-meas...
