Summary
Bovine tuberculosis in cattle has a high incidence in Uruguay, where it is considered a disease of national importance. Mycobacterium bovis is the etiological agent of bovine tuberculosis, an infectious, chronic disease considered one of the most important in dairy cattle. M. bovis has a wide host spectrum; besides cattle, it affects other mammal species, including humans [1] and many other wild animals, which act as a reservoir of the disease and hamper its eradication [2, 3]. Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic risk of worldwide socioeconomic importance.
