- W1541995989 abstract "Ghana, like most African countries, has a serious problem with bovine tuberculosis (BTB). There is no national BTB control program in place to combat this zoonotic disease in animals. All efforts in the country are geared toward control of the disease in the human population. Ghana's population has increased by over 30%, from over 18 million in 2000 to over 24 million in 2010, and the population of cattle, goats, and sheep was over 10 million in 2011. This is a real problem as it leads to overcrowding, and with the continuous interaction between humans and livestock, the likelihood of the risk of BTB infection is high. Movement of livestock across the borders with Togo, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast could contribute to the spread of BTB in Ghana. Also, TB infection in wildlife has implications for livestock and human health as some free-ranging wildlife animals like the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) are endemically infected and as such, pose a serious threat to public health and focus development for a TB eradication program in the country. Inadequate laboratory capabilities in the country have also led to problems with diagnosing BTB disease. The diagnostic method frequently used in Ghana for BTB is postmortem examinations of the carcasses for presence of lesions. The government has put in place a National Human Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP). This program seeks to reduce the burden of TB in Ghana by employing evidence-based interventions toward vulnerable and high-risk human populations. There is need for a One Health approach to TB in the country. Veterinary and human medical practitioners need to make efforts to share information and carry out programs that will ensure social, economic, and physical health for all life in Ghana. This chapter deals with prevalence, diagnosis, some challenges/control measures against BTB, and the way forward for Ghana." @default.
