Despite the significant public health concern posed by bovine tuberculosis in Bhutan, the monitoring of zoonotic cases related to this disease has been inadequate. This is particularly concerning due to common practices that expose individuals to risk, such as the consumption of raw milk and milk products. The research collaboration seeks to address this gap by enhancing understanding of the current knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with bovine tuberculosis along the milk value chain.
The specific goals of this research collaboration include identifying sources of evidence to determine the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis, investigating a risk-based surveillance plan, and establishing a baseline understanding of the disease. Furthermore, the research aims to evaluate various sources of evidence and develop a surveillance plan to detect both animal and human cases of bovine tuberculosis.
