Integration with NTEP and/or other programs

To better document the burden and generate accurate, representative data that differentiate disease due to M. bovis from that due to M. tuberculosis, countries should strive to incorporate zoonotic TB into their routine surveillance activities. Better detection of cases requires greater awareness and expertise of healthcare providers, strengthened laboratory capacity, and improved access to accurate, rapid diagnostic tools.

The roadmap for zoonotic TB provides the critical thinking on areas of “Build-Prevent-Detect-Treat” where the NTEP and other national health programs can play a vital role in accelerating efforts to achieve END TB Goals.

There are priorities areas where significant actions are required as shown in below infographic:
