This book recounts the biology of M. bovis, followed by the status
of bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) in African countries, primarily based
on zoonotic and epidemiological field reports. Since the
accumulation of data is valueless unless it led to practicable
control measures, emphasis is put on locally adapted protocols for
future control of the disease. In order to systematically evaluate
the knowledge base of bTB, Epidemiologic Problem Oriented Approach
(EPOA) methodology was used. The methodology is composed of two
triads: i) the problem identification/characterization triad, which
is mainly descriptive in nature, and ii) the problem
management/solution/mitigation triad, which is mainly geared toward
problem management/solution (see figure). The first triad comprises
three pillars: i) agent ii) host, and iii) environment and the
second one: i) therapeutics/treatment, ii) prevention/control, and
iii) health maintenance/promotion. The two triads are linked
together by the diagnostic procedure linkage. The systematic and
detailed studies of the 'Host-Agent-Environment' interactions are
the building blocks to the understanding of agent transmission
pathways and disease spread. These may include data about the
disease status of the country, the nature of the disease agent and
its hosts, the modes of transmission, the wildlife reservoirs in
nature, persistence of infection, and agent survival in animal
products and the environment. The problem identification and
characterization triad identifies these interactions. Once a
problem has been identified and well understood, the next step is
to minimize the risk of transmission and spread of a disease. This
area, referred to as problem solution/management triad, consists of
problem management alternatives that rely upon prevention/control,
and health maintenance/promotion of the disease in livestock,
wildlife, and humans with the emphasis on resource-poor, developing
countries in Africa.
