Abstract

Tuberculosis of animal origin is currently in the increase, especially in the developing countries like Nigeria where animals and man share microenvironment together coupled with lack of proper control measures. The disease due to Mycobacterium bovis has zoonotic implication. Systematic methodology was adopted where peer-reviewed, scholarly journals in Scopus, PubMed, Google search engines were used. The articles used were on studies in Nigeria and elsewhere and that were published in Nigeria and other parts of the world. It is therefore important to have adequate control programmes, proper food hygienic practices and collaborations between Veterinary and Human Medical Personnel in order to control and later eradicate the disease. The objective of this manuscript was to review the work of earlier workers on tuberculosis in animals and to a certain extent its impact on humans.  There is also the need to educate the populace on the dangers of the disease in both human and animals.
