Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores bovine tuberculosis, a widespread disease which affects both cattle and humans. Its historical significance is detailed, noting its presence from at least the 11th and 12th centuries and featuring prominently in Mosaic law regarding the consumption of affected animals. Over time, research has shown that tuberculosis is infectious, and the discovery of the specific bacterium responsible for it by Robert Koch in 1882 was a major breakthrough. The author discusses the controversies around the infectiousness of the disease due to the belief that human and bovine tuberculosis were connected, with some believing tuberculosis spread from cattle to humans and vice versa. The author points out that the discovery of tuberculin by the same scientist in 1890 marked the beginning of widespread efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis. The author examines the economic and sanitary importance of bovine tuberculosis, discussing its prevalence and impact on the cattle industry and human health. Noting that the disease can spread through the milk and by direct contact, the author explains the significance of identifying and removing infected animals from herds. The author explores the nature of the disease, explaining the formation of tubercles and the different ways in which it can manifest in cattle. The structure of tubercles, consisting of epithelioid cells, giant cells and lymphoid cells, is described, as are the various lesions that can occur in different organs. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the disease, highlighting the economic losses and public health concerns associated with it, and underscoring the value of using tuberculin testing to identify and control its spread.
