#tuberculosis
#Tuberculosis was introduced to buffalo in the 1950s by dairy cattle that lived next to Kruger National Park, South Africa. At the time, there were no fences, allowing buffalo and cattle to share feed and water sources. The disease was first detected in a buffalo in 1991. Over time, tuberculosis spread to various other species within the park, affecting predators, scavengers, antelope, and eventually spreading into wildlife populations in neighbouring Zimbabwe and Mozambique. This case highlights how human actions, such as industrial farming, can impact wildlife health and conservation. Livestock can present unique risks to nearby wildlife. How can we prevent such disease spillovers in the future?

The new World Health Organization (WHO) report on #tuberculosis (TB) shows: - 8.2 million people were newly diagnosed with TB in 2023 – the highest number recorded since 1995; - TB-related deaths declined for a second consecutive year, as access to services continues to improve; - multidrug-resistant TB remains a serious challenge. The fact that TB still kills and sickens so many people is an outrage, when we have the tools to prevent, detect, treat, and #EndTB.

The Global #Tuberculosis Report shows a decline in new TB cases and deaths for the first time since #COVID19. New tuberculosis vaccines for adolescents and adults are within reach - 18 candidates are in development and 6 in Phase 3 trials. Urgent action is needed to sustain these gains, and to ensure equitable and sustainable access to these new TB vaccines when they become available.
