Bovine Tuberculosis in Raw Milk: A Herd‐Level Prevalence Study by PCR and ELISA Testing in Sylhet Region of Bangladesh
Key Points
Investigate the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis in raw milk and its related risk factors.
Conducted a herd-level prevalence study using PCR and ELISA testing methods.
Collected raw milk samples from herds in the Sylhet region of Bangladesh.
Analyzed data to identify associated risk factors.
Determined the prevalence rate of bovine tuberculosis in the sampled herds.
Identified key risk factors associated with the disease in the animal population.
Abstract
Findings from this study necessitate a comprehensive program for TB surveillance of associated risk factors or protective factors in human, environment and animal interface.
