Résumé des résultats (Abstract)
(Anglais)
In sub-Saharan Africa, it is unknown exactly what rolecattle-derived
Mycobacterium bovis
plays in the growing epidemic of tuberculosis (TB). Preliminary studiesindicate that a proportion (~ 5-7%) of human TB cases in Africa is caused by
M. bovis
, but data are still limited. Bovine tuberculosis (BTB)causes economic losses through impacts on the trade of animals and animalproducts. Although control measures have been put in place in 35 of the 50African countries, no country has yet been able to eliminate or effectivelycontrol BTB. A major problem is the general scarcity of data from individualcountries due to lack of diagnostic capacity and lack of a coordinated Africaneffort in tuberculosis surveillance. This project
aims to enhance and coordinate efforts for BTBsurveillance and control, which will contribute to poverty alleviation throughdirect benefits to human health and improvements in African livestockproduction that are needed to meet an ever growing demand for meat and milk.
The project brings together a hugely experienced team, with a successful trackrecord of collaborative work on zoonoses to establish a unique and effectivesub-Sahara African network. It will link East, Central and West African workinggroups within a genuine integrated animal and human health framework based onthe “one health” concept and enhance South-South and interdisciplinarysocial-natural science cooperation.
Main actions will be 1) Stakeholderworkshops
to assess Pan African status of bovine tuberculosis, trainingneeds for surveillance capacity and adapted policy development including: i)Strengthening public education, ii) Promoting pasteurization of milk, iii) Promotingcattle management practices that reduce transmission risks, iv) Assessing the potentialfor using new and existing vaccines inanimals (v) appropriate therapy for human TB cases caused by
M. bovis
;
2) Generating networkresearch
as evidence bases for adapted policies and
3) Training
at the Veterinary Laboratory Agency toestablish and strengthen African bovine tuberculosis surveillance and control.
