Bid begins to eradicate neglected TB threat
13.10.2017 09:17 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Efforts are under way to eradicate a neglected form of tuberculosis that has a particularly damaging impact on poor rural communities in Africa and South-East Asia, UN Radio says referring to the World Health Organization (WHO) report.
As to the report, animal or zoonotic TB can be passed to humans through contaminated meat or dairy products and kills at least 12,000 people a year.
As to the report, its economic consequences are serious too, but the hope is that the first Roadmap for Zoonotic TB recently launched at the 48th Union World Conference on Lung Health in Guadalajara, Mexico will help change that.
