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.
